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

x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 3 (x - 2)

4x - 3x + 6

x + 6

Answer: x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply x and 4

Multiply x and 1

The x just gets copied along.

The answer is x

x

4*x evaluates to 4x

x-2 evaluates to x-2

Multiply 3 by x-2

we multiply 3 by each term in x-2 term by term.

This is the distributive property of multiplication.

Multiply 3 and x

Multiply 1 and x

The x just gets copied along.

x

3 * x = 3x

Multiply 3 and - 2

1

3 * - 2 = - 6

3 * (x-2) evaluates to 3x-6

4x - 3x = x

4*x-3 * (x-2) evaluates to x+6
