Question

What is the simplified expression for the expression below? 4(3x – 2) + 6x(2 – 1) 24x – 3 18x – 8 18x – 7 24x – 14

Answer 1

You simplify expressions by distributing where possible and combining like terms where possible.

4(3x - 2) + 6x(2 - 1)

12x - 8 + 12x - 6x <--- Used the distributive property for both parentheses.

18x - 8 <--- Combined like terms.

So, B. 18x - 8 is the answer.

Answer 2

Option b 18x-8 is correct answer.

Explanation:

We need to simplify the expression 4(3x – 2) + 6x(2 – 1) and find the result.

Solving:

= 4(3x – 2) + 6x(2 – 1)

Multiplying terms with values in the bracket.

= 12x - 8 + 12x -6x

Adding like terms

= 12x + 12x - 6x -8

= 24x -6x -8

= 18x -8

So, Option b 18x-8 is correct answer.
