problem: Simplify $4(3r^3+5r-6)-6(2r^3-r^2+4r)$, and express your answer in the form $Ar^2 + Br + C$, where $A$, $B$, and $C$ are integers.
solution: Using the distributive property and combining like terms, we have  $4(3r^3+5r-6)-6(2r^3-r^2+4r) = 12r^3+20r-24-12r^3+6r^2-24r.$ Simplifying, we get $\boxed{6r^2-4r-24}.$
