Question

3(4v - 6) - 4( v + 6) simplify use distributive property

Answer 1

8v - 42

Explanation:

Simplify:

Distributive property: a* (b + c) = (a*b) + (a*c)

3(4v - 6) - 4(v + 6) = (3*4v) + (3*(-6) ) + (-4*v + (-4)*6) )

= 12v - 18 - 4v - 24

= 12v - 4v - 18 - 24

Combine like terms [ 12v & (-4v) ] and combine constants [ (-18) & (-24)]

= 8v - 42
