Correct the Error HOW TO MULTIPLY POLYNOMIALS

There is an error in the student work below. https://www.symbolab.com/solver/simp
lify-calculator

(4x 3 + 4x 2 – 8x) – (8x 2 – 16x + 4)

= 4x 3 + 4x 2 – 8x – 8x 2 – 16x – 4
= 4x 3 + 12x 2 – 24x – 4
What is the error? Explain how to solve the
problem. (2 POINTS)

(x – 3)(x – 7).
= x•x – 7•x – 3•x – 21
= x 2 – 10x – 21
What is the error? Explain how to solve the
