Answer:

6x+8

Explanation:

To answer this question we just simply use the distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis.

1.5*3x=4.5x

1.5*4=6

So the first parenthesis cancelled out would be : 4.5x+6

Now, onto the second:

0.25*6x=1.5x

0.25*8=2

So the second one is : 1.5x+2

Not that we have distributed both things, we add these.

4.5x+6+1.5x+2 we combine like terms

4.5x+1.5x=6x

6+2=8

So, the answer is 6x+8
