Question #652f1

Answer 1

It simplifies to `-10x+3`

Explanation:

Do the distributive multiplication first. Each number outside the bracket will multiply both terms in the bracket:
`(-3)(2x)+(-3)(1) - (2/3)(6x)+(2/3)(9)`

Where you will notice that the final term is written `+(2/3)(9)` because we are subtracting a negative term that was previously in the bracket (but no longer is).

The is the most difficult part to do correctly!

Now, just multiply each product:

`(-6x) + (-3)-(2*6x)/3+(2*9)/3`

`-6x-3-4x+6`

`-10x+3`
