Simplify 4x+6(3x−2) (1 point)Responses
4x + 6(3x - 2)
= 4x + 18x - 12
= 22x - 12
To simplify the expression 4x + 6(3x - 2), we will apply the distributive property first.
Distribute the 6 into the parentheses:
4x + 6 * 3x - 6 * 2
This becomes:
4x + 18x - 12
Combine like terms:
(4x + 18x) - 12
Simplify the coefficients:
22x - 12
The simplified expression is 22x - 12.
To simplify the expression 4x + 6(3x - 2), we need to distribute the 6 to both terms inside the parentheses.
First, multiply 6 by 3x: 6 * 3x = 18x.
Next, multiply 6 by -2: 6 * -2 = -12.
Now our expression becomes: 4x + 18x - 12.
Combine the like terms: 4x + 18x = 22x.
So the simplified expression is 22x - 12.
