Answer 4

First 'Distribute' the -2 to each term in (6 - x). After you've done that and simplified, distribute 2x to every term in the big bracket and -3 to everything in the big bracket. \[\bf (a+b)(c+d)=a(c+d)+b(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\]

Answer 5

@Comm.Dan ok i took the negative 3 and multiplied it with the 5x and got -15x and then the -3 to the -2 and got +6 then the -2 to the 6 in the () and got -12 and then negative to the -x and got -2x
