HURRY PLEASE

Answer 1

-6 + 12q.

Explanation:

Let's start by simplifying the expression 18-20+2q6q-4q.

First, we can combine the numerical terms 18 and -20 to get -2.

Next, we can combine the q terms by factoring out a common factor of q:

2q6q - 4q = 2q(6q - 2)

Now we can substitute this expression back into our original expression:

18-20+2q(6q - 2)

And finally, we can simplify further by using the distributive property:

18 - 20 + 12q - 4 = -6 + 12q

The simplified expression is -6 + 12q.
