Question

What is the sum? (2x − 6) +4(x − 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

(2x - 6) + 4(x - 3) = 6x - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x - 6) + 4(x - 3)         use the distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac

= 2x - 6 + (4)(x) + (4)(-3)

= 2x - 6 + 4x - 12        combine like terms

= (2x + 4x) + (-6 - 12)

= 6x - 18
