Question

Simplify each expression by using the Distributive Property and combine like terms to simplify the expression.3(-2x + 4)

Answer 1

Answer:

The expression gives;

$-6x+12$

Explanation:

Given the expression;

$3(-2x+4)$

Applying the distributive property;

$a(b+c)=a(b)+a(c)$

So applying the distributive property to the given expression, we have;

$\begin{gathered} 3(-2x+4)=3(-2x)+3(4) \\ =-6x+12 \end{gathered}$

Since there are no like terms to simplify, the expression gives;

$-6x+12$
