Question

Combine like terms:

Answer 1

So we have to use the distributive property:

We ll get -12x-9-2x+5+18x-24
Now we have to combine like terms
-12-2x+18x=4x
-9+5-24=-28
Therefore our answer is:
Y=4x-28

Answer 2

Answer:

4x - 28

Step-by-step explanation:

$-3(4x + 3) - (2x - 5) + 6(3x - 4)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:-\left(a-b\right)=-a+b$

$-\left(2x-5\right)=-2x+5$

$=-3\left(4x+3\right)-2x+5+6\left(3x-4\right)$

$=-12x-9-2x+5+6\left(3x-4\right)$

$=-12x-9-2x+5+18x-24$

$\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}$

$=-12x-2x+18x-9+5-24$

$\mathrm{Add\:the\:numbers:}\:-9+5-24=-28$

$=-12x-2x+18x-28$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:-12x-2x+18x=4x$

$=4x-28$
