Given:
The expression is
[tex]3(2x-4)-4x[/tex]
To find:
The simplified form of the given expression by using the distributive property and combining like terms.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]3(2x-4)-4x[/tex]
Using the distributive property, we get
[tex]=3(2x)+3(-4)-4x[/tex]
[tex]=6x-12-4x[/tex]
On combining like terms, we get
[tex]=(6x-4x)-12[/tex]
[tex]=2x-12[/tex]
Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression is [tex]2x-12[/tex].
