For this problem, we are given a certain expression:


6(x-3)-4(x+1)

Now we need to simplify the expression. The first step is to apply the distributive property on both terms:


\begin{gathered} 6x-6\cdot3-4x-4\cdot1 \\ 6x-18-4x-4 \\ 6x-4x-18-4 \\ 2x-22 \end{gathered}

The correct option is "2x-22".
