What are the steps to get the product of (7x-6) ^2

Since it's multiplied to the power of two, you are multiplying (7x-6) to itself

So you have (7x-6) (7x-6)

Multiply the 7x out so you have:

49x^2 - 42x

Now do the same to the - 6 so you have:

-42x + 36

49x^2 - 42x - 42x + 36

Combine like terms, and your final answer is:

49x^2 - 84x + 36
