Incorrect. Rewrite the problem as $\displaystyle{\left({3}{v}-{8}\right)}{\left({3}{v}-{8}\right)}\usepackage{cmbright}\Huge\$ . Then apply the Distributive Property; the property that says $\displaystyle{\left({a}+{b}\right)}{\left({c}+{d}\right)}={a}{c}+{a}{d}+{b}{c}+{b}{d}\usepackage{cmbright}\Huge\$ . You find that $\displaystyle{\left({3}{v}-{8}\right)}{\left({3}{v}-{8}\right)}={9}{{v}}^{{2}}-{24}{v}-{24}{v}+{64}\usepackage{cmbright}\Huge\$ . Finally, simplify this expression.
