. Simplify the expression -9x+3(4-x)

umm:

Given:\[-9x+3(4-x)\]Distribute\[=−9x+(3)(4)+(3)(−x)\]\[=−9x+12+−3x\]Now you combine like terms\[=−9x+12+−3x\]\[=(−9x+−3x)+(12)\]\[=−12x+12\]Therefore your answer is:\[=−12x+12\]

minustempo:

So first you need to distribute the 3(4-x). Do you know the distributive property?
