1. Problem Description

The problem is to simplify the expression 3a(4a2)4a(3a2)3a(4a-2) - 4a(3a-2).

2. Solution Steps

First, we distribute 3a3a into the first parenthesis (4a2)(4a-2):
3a(4a2)=3a4a3a2=12a26a3a(4a-2) = 3a \cdot 4a - 3a \cdot 2 = 12a^2 - 6a.
Next, we distribute 4a-4a into the second parenthesis (3a2)(3a-2):
4a(3a2)=4a3a(4a)2=12a2+8a-4a(3a-2) = -4a \cdot 3a - (-4a) \cdot 2 = -12a^2 + 8a.
Now, we combine the results:
12a26a12a2+8a=(12a212a2)+(6a+8a)12a^2 - 6a - 12a^2 + 8a = (12a^2 - 12a^2) + (-6a + 8a).
Simplifying, we have:
0a2+2a=2a0a^2 + 2a = 2a.

3. Final Answer

2a2a
