Answer:

6x-4

Explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

2(3x−2)−(4x−4x)

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=2(3x−2)+−1(4x−4x)

=2(3x−2)+−1(4x)+−1(−4x)

=2(3x−2)+−4x+4x

Distribute:

=(2)(3x)+(2)(−2)+−4x+4x

=6x+−4+−4x+4x

Combine Like Terms:

=6x+−4+−4x+4x

=(6x+−4x+4x)+(−4)

=6x+−4

Answer:

=6x−4
