Answer:


  • \boxed{\sf{8x+11b+6}}

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you have to combine like terms of x and b from one side of the equation.

4x+3(2x+5b)-4b-2x+6

Combine like terms.

3(2x+5b)+4x-2x-4b+6

Solve.

4x-2x=2x

Rewrite the problem down.

3(2x+5b)+2x-4b+6

Expand the form.

Use a distributive property.

Distributive property:

A(B+C)=AB+AC

3(2x+5b)

Multiply.

3*2x=6x

3*5b=15b

Rewrite the problem.

6x+15b

6x+15b+2x-4b+6

Combine like terms.

6x+2x+15b-4b+6

Add the numbers from left to right.

6x+2x=8x

8x+15b-4b+6

Then, you add again.

15b-4b=11b

= 8x+11b+6

  • Therefore, the final answer is 8x+11b+6.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
