Hoped this helps! Mark as branliest please!
Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number and you'll get an equivalent fraction. For example, 3/5 times 2/2 equals 6/10, which is an equivalent fraction to 3/5. Multiply both by 8, and you have 24/40, which is also equivalent to 3/5. I hope this helped you tremendously! <span />
4x - 2(3x - 9)....distribute the 2 thru the parenthesis
4x - 6x + 18....combine like terms
-2x + 18 <===
