Let's simplify the expression step by step:
Given expression:
\[4x(2x - 1) - (x - 3)(x + 3)\]
Step 1: Expand both parts.
- Expand \(4x(2x - 1)\):
\[4x \times 2x = 8x^2\]
\[4x \times (-1) = -4x\]
So, \(4x(2x - 1) = 8x^2 - 4x\).
- Expand \((x - 3)(x + 3)\):
Recognize this as a difference of squares:
\[(x)^2 - (3)^2 = x^2 - 9\]
Step 2: Write the expression with expanded parts:
\[8x^2 - 4x - (x^2 - 9)\]
Step 3: Distribute the minus sign:
\[8x^2 - 4x - x^2 + 9\]
Step 4: Combine like terms:
\[ (8x^2 - x^2) - 4x + 9 = 7x^2 - 4x + 9\]
Final Answer:
\[\boxed{7x^2 - 4x + 9}\]
