Let’s use PEMDAS to solve this question. We have parenthesis that need to be solved, so distribute.

(6(x) - 6(3)) - (2(x) - 2(5))

6x - 18 - 2x + 10

Now combine like terms.

6x - 2x
-18 + 10

3x - 8

Since we cannot do any operations between a number with a variable and a number without. 3x - 8 is our final answer.
