Question

What is the answer to
8 - 3(4x + 3) and why?

Answer 1

Answer: -12x-1

So first you’re going want to start off with you equation 8-3(4x+3)

Next you gonna want to distribute -3 times 4x then times 3

Now the equation will look like this 8-12x-9

So then you would combine like terms, which in this case is 8-9 which would give you -1

Then you would keep the -12x

So your final equation will be -12x-1
