Question

Simplify 6 - 3(4 - 3x) -3x - 6 9x + 18 9x - 6

Answer 1

Answer:

6 (19 x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

6 - 3 (4 - 3 x) - 3 x - 6×9 x + 18×9 x - 6

-6×9 = -54:

6 - 3 (4 - 3 x) - 3 x + -54 x + 18×9 x - 6

18×9 = 162:

6 - 3 (4 - 3 x) - 3 x - 54 x + 162 x - 6

Grouping like terms, 6 - 3 (4 - 3 x) - 3 x - 54 x + 162 x - 6 = (-3 x - 54 x + 162 x) - 3 (4 - 3 x) + (6 - 6):

(-3 x - 54 x + 162 x) - 3 (4 - 3 x) + (6 - 6)

-3 x - 54 x + 162 x = 105 x:

105 x - 3 (4 - 3 x) + (6 - 6)

6 - 6 = 0:

105 x - 3 (4 - 3 x)

-3 (4 - 3 x) = 9 x - 12:

9 x - 12 + 105 x

Grouping like terms, 105 x + 9 x - 12 = (105 x + 9 x) - 12:

(105 x + 9 x) - 12

105 x + 9 x = 114 x:

114 x - 12

Factor 6 out of 114 x - 12:

Answer: 6 (19 x - 2)
