Simplify. 8 - 3(4x - 2) + 6x I know the answer is -6x + 4 but I don't have any idea how to work it out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First, distribute the -3. Can you do this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes but I wasn't sure if I had to distribute the 8 and the -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nupe. Just the -3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay got that part! Now when I do the problem I'm getting 6x + 14 so it's still wrong
