Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

`18a - 12`

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Simplifying...}}\\\\6(3a-2)\\-----------------\\\rightarrow \text{Distribute the '6' into '3a' and '-2'.}\\\\\rightarrow 6 * 3a = 18a\\\\\rightarrow 6 * -2 = -12\\\\\\\text{Therefore:}\\\\6(3a-2)\rightarrow \boxed{18a - 12}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻
