    The answer to your question is No, the product is not the same.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Product 1

    (2x - 4) (3x² - x + 4) = 6x³ - 2x² + 8x - 12x² + 4x - 16

    Simplify = 6x³ - 14x² + 12x - 16

    Product 2

    (4x - 2) (3x² - x + 4) = 12x³ - 4x² + 16x - 6x² + 2x - 8

    Simplify = 12x³ - 10x² + 18x - 8

    The result is not the same because we are multiplying by different terms (2x - 4) is totally different from (4x - 2) they are different factors and the result will be different.

    If we have applied the commutative property the results will be the same, but we did not.
