Question

Use the distributive property and combine like terms to simplify: 4(6x−4)−3(5x+1).

Answer 1

9x - 19

Explanation:

4 times 6x = 24x

4 times -4 = -16

-3 times 5x = - 15x

-3 times 1 = -3

24x-15x = 9x

-16-3 is basically adding them as positives, but you leave the negative sign so -19

= 9x-19

Answer 2

9x-19 would be the simplified answer.

Hope this helps :)
