Simplify the expression:

\[4(6 - 2b) + 3b\]

Well, if you're trying to simplify this expression, this is how you would do it: 1) Distribute the 4 into each term inside the parantheses. This would end up looking like "24-8b+3b" 2) Combine like terms. In other words, combine units with variables into one and combine units without variables into one. 24 would stay because it doesn't have the variable "b". "-8b+3b" would combine into "-5b". Therefore, the answer would be:
24-5b

Multiply out the brackets to get 24-8b. Then group like terms, i.e numbers and bs. 24-8b +3b
This equals 24 - 5b

To simplify the expression 4 ( 6 − 2 b ) + 3 b , distribute the 4 to get 24 − 8 b + 3 b and then combine like terms to arrive at 24 − 5 b .
