Explanation:
Distributive property: → [tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex]
Expand equation.
[tex]6(x-4)[/tex]
Then, multiply 6*4.
[tex]6*4=24[/tex]
[tex]=3x+6x-24[/tex]
Add by similar elements.
[tex]6+3=9[/tex]
Don't forget to used variable with letter/symbol.
[tex]\boxed{9x-24}[/tex]
Hope this helps!
Thank you!

Hey there!
Answer = 9x - 24
Let's simplify step-by-step.
3x + 6(x - 4)
Distribute:
= 3x + (6)(x) + (6)(-4)
= 3x + 6x + -24
Combine Like terms:
= 3x + 6x + -24
= (3x + 6x + (-24)
= 9x + -24
= 9x - 24
So therefore, that is how you found your answer: 9x - 24
