Multiplying Linear Expressions

Question 8 • 2025-2026_MDCPS_1205070-M/J Grade 8 Pre-Algebra Sem 1-CR

What is the simplified expression for the expression below? 4(3x – 2) + 6x(2 – 1)

Answer
A
24x – 3
B
18x – 8
C
18x – 7
D
24x – 14

Explanation

First simplify the parentheses: 2 − 1 = 1, so 6x(2 − 1) = 6x. Distribute the 4 in the first term: 4(3x − 2) = 12x − 8. Combine like terms, 12x + 6x − 8 = 18x − 8, which is choice B.
