36c^2-12c+136c212c+1

Explanation:

Each term in the second bracket must be multiplied by each term in the first bracket. ThIs can be achieved as shown.

(color(red)(6c-1))(6c-1)(6c1)(6c1)

=color(red)(6c)(6c-1)color(red)(-1)(6c-1)=6c(6c1)1(6c1)

distributing.

=36c^2-6c-6c+1=36c26c6c+1

collecting like terms.

=36c^2-12c+1=36c212c+1
