Simplify the expression: 3(2-4x) explain

OpenStudy (phi):

This looks like some of your earlier questions. Do you know how to "distribute" the 3? It means multiply 3 times every term inside the parens. Can you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you're saying even with like this one Simplify the expression: 7(x-5) I would multiply 3 times still?

OpenStudy (phi):

I would multiply 3 times still? No, there is no 3 in this new expression. 7(x-5) means 7 times (x-5) it means 7 times x + 7 times -5 people write it as 7x + -35 or just 7x-35

I got -18x? is that correct?
