Answer:

Answer is 17x - 24

Explanation:

First we have...

4(3x - 6) - 5x

We want to use distributive property first.

12x - 24 - 5x

Combine like terms...

12x - -5x - 24

And simplify.

17x - 24

This is as simplified as possible, you can't combine them anymore because one has an x, the other doesn't. I hope this helps, and I hope it's not wrong, but I do not think it is.
