PLEASE HELP!! 1. Simplify the expression by using the Distributive Property and by combining like terms 4x + 8y + 2(3x – 3y) If you dont mind explaining how to do it that would be great

So first your going to multiply 2 times 3x= 6x

and multiply 2 by -3y= -6y
so now the equation is 4x+8y+6x-6y
then combine like terms

4x+6x
and 8y-6y
equals 10x+2y
