Simplify: –4(2x – 3y) + 4x – 2(x + 6)

a. –6x
b. –6x + 24y
c. 12y – 12
d. –6x + 12y – 12

D. -6x + 12y - 12

First, distribute the -4 and the -2.

-8x + 12y + 4x - 2x - 12

Now, rearrange the expression so the like terms are easier to combine.

-8x + 4x - 2x + 12y - 12

Now, combine the like terms.

-6x + 12y - 12

This is as simple as the expression can get without knowing what the variables are.

hi,

i'm 75% sure the answer is 1,1 to both lines.
