Question

What is the answer to this problem 3x+6(x-4)

Answer 1

Hey there!

Answer = 9x - 24

Let's simplify step-by-step.

3x + 6(x - 4)

Distribute:

= 3x + (6)(x) + (6)(-4)

= 3x + 6x + -24

Combine Like terms:

= 3x + 6x + -24

= (3x + 6x + (-24)

= 9x + -24

= 9x - 24

So therefore, that is how you found your answer: 9x - 24

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property: →
`a(b+c)=ab+ac`

Expand equation.

`6(x-4)`

Then, multiply 6*4.

`6*4=24`

`=3x+6x-24`

Add by similar elements.

`6+3=9`

Don't forget to used variable with letter/symbol.

`\boxed{9x-24}`

Hope this helps!

Thank you!

Have a great day!
