Question

SIMPLIFY the expression
- 4(2x - 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

-8x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the distributive property of multiplication which states that a(b + c) = a * b + a * c. Therefore:

-4(2x - 3)

= -4 * 2x - 4 * (-3)

= -8x + 12

Answer 2

Answer: -8x -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply -4 by 2x getting -8x

Then Multiply -4 by 3 getting 12

Since you can't subtract 12 from -8x this is the simplest way
