Answer:

the first step in simplifying 4(3x-2)+6x(2-1) is to do subtract 1 from 2 in the second set of parenthesis. That will get you 4(3x-2)+6x(1)

The equation completely simplified is 18x-8

-look in the step-by-step explanation if you want to know all the steps to simplifyinh the equation

Explanation:

Now if you want to know the rest here it is:

Then use the Distributive Property:

-distribute the 4 into (3x-2) to get 12x-8

-then distribut the 6x into (1) to get 6x

Your equation is now 12x-8+6x

Finally, add 12x and 6x to simplify the equation as much as you can

you get 18x-8 as you final, most simplified answer
