Answer: To subtract 2(3x + 1) from (3(4x - 2)), we need to distribute the negative sign to both terms inside the parentheses:
(3(4x - 2)) - 2(3x + 1)
Now, distribute:
= 12x - 6 - 6x - 2
Next, combine like terms:
= (12x - 6x) + (-6 - 2)
= 6x - 8
So, the result of subtracting 2(3x + 1) from (3(4x - 2)) is 6x - 8.
