ohhh ok hmm how did u get 9x-12?? like what did you do to get them???

Answer 11

\[ 6(x-2)+3x\]
\[6x-6\times 2+3x\]
\[6x-12+3x\]
\[6x+3x-12\]
\[9x-12\] any question about any step?

Answer 12

6(x-2) is the same as 6 times x and 6 times -2. After multiplying each, you get 6x and -12. Add the 3x to the 6x to get 9x - 12.

Answer 13

one left o.o part B o.o

Answer 14

5(2x-3y) is the same as (5 times 2x) + (5 times -3y), which yields 10x - 15y. Looking at the -(x+y), you get 9x - 16y when you combine them.
