12d-6(-11d+18)=___d-___

Answer 1

The simplified expression after combining like terms in 12d-6(-11d+18) is 78d-108.

Step-by-step explanation:

To combine like terms in the expression 12d-6(-11d+18), we first need to distribute the -6 across the terms inside the parentheses. This gives us:

12d - 6(-11d) - 6(18)

12d + 66d - 108 (Multiplying -6 by -11d and 18)

Now we combine like terms (terms with the same variable, which in this case is d):

(12d + 66d) - 108

78d - 108 (Adding 12d and 66d together)

So, the simplified expression is 78d - 108. The answer would be entered as 78d-108.
