Question

Simplify to create an equivalent expression. -3(2+4k)+7(2k-)

Answer 1

`-3(2 + 4k) + 7(2k)` =
`2k - 6` or
`2(k - 3)`

Explanation:

The question seem incomplete; however, the given parameter is assumed as

`-3(2 + 4k) + 7(2k)`

Required

Simplify

`-3(2 + 4k) + 7(2k)`

Start by opening the brackets

`-3*2 -3* 4k + 7*2k`

`-6 -12k +14k`

Collect Like Terms

`-6 -12k +14k`

`-6 + 2k`

Reorder the above expression

`2k - 6`

The answer can be further simplified as

`2(k - 3)`

Hence;

`-3(2 + 4k) + 7(2k)` =
`2k - 6` or
`2(k - 3)`
