Hey there!
“ Simplify 4(6 - 2x) - 3(3 - 4x)”
FIRST: you have to DISTRIBUTE
4(6) + 4(–2x) + (–3)(3) + (–3)(–4x)
4(6) = 24
4(–2x) = –8x
–3(3) = –9
–3(–4) = 12x
NEW EQUATION: 24 – 8x – 9 + 12x
SECOND: COMBINE your LIKE TERMS
(24 – 9) + (–8x + 12)
24 – 9 = 15
–8x + 12 = 4x
OR........ (MAINLY this one )
(–8x + 12) + (24 - 9)
(–8x + 12) = 4x ⬅️ FRONT NUMBER
24 – 9 = 15 ⬅️ BACK NUMBER
ANSWER: 4x + 15 ☑️
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
