2x+3(x-2)-3(x-6)

A. 2x + 12
B. 2x - 8
C. 8x - 24
D. 2x - 24

Answer 1

2x+3(x-2)-3(x-6) You would first distribute. So: 2x+3x-6-3x+18 Then you would combine like terms, like so: 2x+3x-3x= 2x -6+18= 12 So it'd be: 2x + 12 Which is answer choice A HOPE THIS HELPS!!(:

Answer 2

`2x+3(x-2)-3(x-6) \\ \\ 2x + 3x - 6 - 3x + 18 \ / \ expand \\ \\ (2x + 3x - 3x) - 6 + 18 \ / \ gather \ the \ like \ terms \\ \\ 2x - 6 + 18 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ 2x + 12 \ / \ simplify \\ \\`

The final result is A) 2x + 12.
