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

=3x+6x-24

Add by similar elements.

6+3=9

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

$\boxed{9x-24}$
