Answer:

-2(9x-8)

Explanation:

We are to simplify the expression -3.1x+7-7.4x-1.5x-6(x-3/2)

Open the parenthesis

-3.1x+7-7.4x-1.5x-6(x-3/2)

= -3.1x+7-7.4x-1.5x-6x+6(3/2)

= -3.1x+7-7.4x-1.5x-6x+9

Collect like terms

= -3.1x-7.4x-1.5x-6x+7+9

= -12x-6x+16

= -18x+16

= -2(9x-8)

Hence the simplified form of the expression is -2(9x-8)
