In this expression, we can solve it by applying the distributive property

3(2y-7)

6y-21

So, factor 3 multiplies each term inside the parentheses.

2)-(x+4)

The minus outside the bracket works like a -1 multiplying it

-(x+4)

-x-4

3) For this one, remember the rule for multiplying fractions and then simplifying:


\begin{gathered} (2)/(3)((1)/(4)x-6) \\ (2)/(12)x\text{ -}(12)/(3) \\ (1)/(6)x-4 \end{gathered}

4) 6( x+1) -5(x+2)

6x+6 -5x-10

6x-5x+6-10

x-4
