Expand the following:
(2 x - 3)^2

(2 x - 3) (2 x - 3) = (2 x) (2 x) + (2 x) (-3) + (-3) (2 x) + (-3) (-3):
2 2 x x - 3 2 x - 3 2 x - 3 (-3)

2 x×2 x = 2×2 x^2:
2×2 x^2 - 3 2 x - 3 2 x - 3 (-3)

2×2 = 4:
4 x^2 - 3 2 x - 3 2 x - 3 (-3)

-3×2 = -6:
4 x^2 - 3 2 x + -6 x - 3 (-3)

-3×2 = -6:
4 x^2 + -6 x - 6 x - 3 (-3)

-3 (-3) = 9:
4 x^2 - 6 x - 6 x + 9

-6 x - 6 x = -12 x:
4x^2 - 12x + 9
