Answer: 8x + -12
Explanation: Let's simplify this problem using the distributive property.
The first thing we want to do is change the minus to plus a negative.
Now we can distribute or multiply this 4 times
each of the terms inside the set of parenthses.
So we get 4(2x) + 4(-3) and this simplifies to 8x + -12.
Note that if you wrote your answer as 8x - 12, it means the same thing.
