Simplify the expression:
\(-2(b + 12) + 6b\)
Answer (2)
− 2 ( b + 12 ) + 6 b = − 2 b − 24 + 6 b = 4 b − 24
The expression − 2 ( b + 12 ) + 6 b simplifies to 4 b − 24 by distributing and combining like terms. First, distribute − 2 to the terms in the parentheses, then combine the resulting terms. The final result is 4 b − 24 .
