1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$(6x-3)(2x-1)$$.
2. **Formula used:** To simplify the product of two binomials, use the distributive property (also known as FOIL method for binomials):
$$ (a+b)(c+d) = ac + ad + bc + bd $$
3. **Apply the distributive property:**
$$ (6x-3)(2x-1) = 6x \cdot 2x + 6x \cdot (-1) + (-3) \cdot 2x + (-3) \cdot (-1) $$
4. **Calculate each term:**
$$ 6x \cdot 2x = 12x^2 $$
$$ 6x \cdot (-1) = -6x $$
$$ (-3) \cdot 2x = -6x $$
$$ (-3) \cdot (-1) = 3 $$
5. **Combine like terms:**
$$ 12x^2 - 6x - 6x + 3 = 12x^2 - 12x + 3 $$
6. **Final simplified expression:**
$$ 12x^2 - 12x + 3 $$
This is the simplified form of the product of the two binomials.
