Distribute.

3x - 6

7x + 3x - 6 - 4x + 8

Now combine like terms

7x + 3x = 10x

10x - 4x = 6x

-6 + 8 = 2

6x + 2

Answer: 6x + 2

7x + 3(x-2) -4x + 8
Using the distributive property, we get:
7x + 3x - 6 - 4x + 8
Using the commutative property, we get
7x + 3x - 4x - 6 + 8
Simplifying, we get:
6x + 2
