To simplify the expression \(-3(2x - 4)\), we distribute \(-3\) to both terms inside the parentheses:

\[ -3(2x) + (-3)(-4) \]

Calculating these:

  1. \(-3(2x) = -6x\)
  2. \(-3(-4) = +12\)

Now, combine these results:

\[ -6x + 12 \]

Thus, the simplified expression is:

\(-6x + 12\)

So the correct response is:

−6x + 12
