If you simplify the expression step by step it will be:

Distribute:

8x-6x+18-x

Combine like terms:

x+18

x+18 is your simplified answer.

Answer: x+18

Explanation:

distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

expanded form

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

8x-6x+18-x

simplify by equation and expanded form

8x-6x+18-x=x+18

x+18

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
