Simplify the algebraic expression

6 (-4x-7) - 4 (x-6)

A - 20x-18

B - 20x-66

C - 28x+66

D - 28x-18

6 (-4x - 7) - 4 (x - 6) Distribute 6 into (-4x - 7) and - 4 into (x - 6)

(6) (-4x) + (6) (-7) + (-4) x + (-4) (-6) (two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)

-24x - 42 - 4x + 24 Combine like terms (terms that have the same variable and power/exponent)

-24x - 4x - 42 + 24 (I rearranged the terms to be next to their like term)

-28x - 18 Your answer is D
