Bot GPT 3.5 To simplify the expression 8(9x + 6) - 4x + 6, we follow the order of operations and distribute 8 to the terms within the parentheses:
8(9x + 6) - 4x + 6
= 8(9x) + 8(6) - 4x + 6
= 72x + 48 - 4x + 6
Next, we combine like terms:
72x - 4x + 48 + 6
= (72x - 4x) + (48 + 6)
= 68x + 54
Therefore, 8(9x + 6) - 4x + 6 simplifies to 68x + 54.
