what is the answer

Question

3(2w-5)+3(4w+4)

Answer 1

Hi Ashley,

You can simplify this expression by using the distributive property, followed by combining like terms.

First, use the distributive property:

3(2w - 5) + 3(4w + 4) = 6w - 15 +12w + 12

Now combine like terms:

6w - 15 +12w + 12 = 18w -3

The final expression would be 18w - 3

Hope this helps Ashley. Let me know if you have more questions or would like to schedule a lesson (online if you would prefer)!
