2x+4(7−x)
12x−(4+2x)
2(10−x)+3(12−x)
7(x−1)−6(x+1)

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf-2x+28}\\\\\huge\boxed{\sf 10x-4}\\\\\huge\boxed{\sf 56-5x}\\\\\huge\boxed{\sf x-13}`

Explanation:

`\sf 2x + 4(7-x) \\\\Resolving \ Parenthesis\\\\2x + 28-4x \\\\Combining\ like\ terms\\\\2x-4x +28\\\\-2x + 28\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}`

`\sf \\12x-(4+2x)\\\\12x-4-2x\\\\Combining \ like \ terms\\\\12x-2x - 4\\\\10x-4 \\\\\rule[22]{225}{2} \\2(10-x)+3(12-x) \\\\Resolving \ Parenthesis\\\\20-2x + 36 -3x\\\\Combining \ like \ terms\\\\20+36 -2x-3x\\\\56 - 5x \\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}`

`\sf 7(x-1)-6(x+1)\\\\Resolving \ Parethesis\\\\7x-7-6x-6\\\\Combining \ like \ terms\\\\7x-6x-7-6\\\\x - 13\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Hope this helped!
