12x³ - 14x² + 8x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(4x - 2) (3x² - 2x + 1)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

= 4x (3x² - 2x + 1) - 2 (3x² - 2x + 1) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 12x³ - 8x² + 4x - 6x² + 4x - 2 ← collect like terms

= 12x³ - 14x² + 8x - 2 ← in standard form
