Answer:

4x+15 Is the answer

Hey there!

“ Simplify 4(6 - 2x) - 3(3 - 4x)”

FIRST: you have to DISTRIBUTE

4(6) + 4(–2x) + (–3)(3) + (–3)(–4x)

4(6) = 24

4(–2x) = –8x

–3(3) = –9

–3(–4) = 12x

NEW EQUATION: 24 – 8x – 9 + 12x

SECOND: COMBINE your LIKE TERMS

(24 – 9) + (–8x + 12)

24 – 9 = 15

–8x + 12 = 4x

OR........ (MAINLY this one )

(–8x + 12) + (24 - 9)

(–8x + 12) = 4x ⬅️ FRONT NUMBER

24 – 9 = 15 ⬅️ BACK NUMBER

ANSWER: 4x + 15 ☑️

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
