(3g−4)−2(3g+4)

5 answers

To simplify the expression (3g-4)-2(3g+4), you can start by applying the distributive property:

(3g-4)-2(3g+4) = 3g - 4 - 6g - 8

Next, you can combine like terms:

= (3g - 6g) + (-4 - 8)
= -3g - 12

Therefore, (3g-4)-2(3g+4) simplifies to -3g - 12.
wrong!
Apologies for the incorrect answer. Let's simplify the expression correctly.

(3g-4)-2(3g+4)

First, distribute the negative sign to both terms inside the parentheses:

= 3g - 4 - 2 * 3g - 2 * 4

Next, simplify the terms:

= 3g - 4 - 6g - 8

Now, combine like terms:

= 3g - 6g - 4 - 8

= (3g - 6g) - (4 + 8)

= -3g - 12

Therefore, (3g-4)-2(3g+4) simplifies to -3g - 12.
no that's not the answer
I apologize for the confusion. Let's simplify the expression correctly.

(3g-4)-2(3g+4)

First, distribute the -2 to both terms inside the parentheses:

= 3g - 4 - 2 * 3g - 2 * 4

= 3g - 4 - 6g - 8

Next, combine like terms:

= (3g - 6g) - (4 + 8)

= -3g - 12

Therefore, (3g-4)-2(3g+4) simplifies to -3g - 12.
