Question

Simplify 4+(-3)-2x(-6)

Answer 1

Answer:

1 + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's do this one step by step!

We are going to make sure that we pay attention to the part in the parenthesis first!

Let's multiply -2x with -6 first.

Equation:

4+(-3)-2x(-6)

We do not need to parenthesis around the -3 because a negative cancels out a positive. So, no matter what you would have to subtract.

4 - 3 + 12x

And we get a positive 12 because both numbers that were being multiplied were negative.

Now let's combine common terms.

1 + 12x

This is your answer! I hope this helped!
