Answer:

i believe it is "3x+2"

Step-by-step explanation:

first you distribute the 3 to the expression in the parenthesis and you get "3x-6" and add the +4 to the end of that expression and you get "3x-6+4" add "-6+4" and you get "-2" and then you get "3x--2"since a subtraction sign and a negative sign make it be addition you get the expression "3x+2"
