For this problem, the distributive property is a must. It states that...
a(b+c) = ab + ac
For example,
3(9+2) = (3)(9) + (3)(2) = 27 + 6 = 33
Usually, we would just do 3(11) = 33, but that is just an example.
7(x+4) = 7x + (7)(4) = 7x + 28
Try to do that in your problem, and we can critique your thinking.
6(3x-2)-3(2x-4)=5(3x+8)-7(2x-3)
show the work please.

Nuts. You show the work, and we will be happy to critique it. We don't do homework for students.
