Question

How to simplify this...

Answer 1

\[6n(3n-2) -4(n+3)\]

Answer 2

distribute
combine like terms

Answer 3

do i distribute the 6n with the -2?

Answer 4

depends on how you want to break it up. you can just distribute the 2 or the whole -2 like so

Answer 5

I meant 4

Answer 6

here: \(6n(3n-2)-4(n+3)=\\(6n*3n)-(6n*2)-[4(n+3)]\)

from there you can either distribute the -4 to (n+3)
or just distribute the 4 and then subtract the whole thing

Answer 7

so that means \([-4(n+3)]=(-4*n)+(-4*3)\\or\\-[4(n+3)]=-[(4*n+4(3)]\)
