First what you want to do is use the distribution property and multiply the -4 to (x + 3). This gets you to 6 - 4x - 12. Now combine like terms. -4x - 6. If you're only simplifying, then that is the answer. However if you're solving for x, then you have to go further and isolate the x, by first adding 6 to both sides of the equation. -4x = 6. Now divide by -4 to finally get x alone: x = -6/4 = -3/2.
The six remains the same while the 4 is distributed to all of the figures in the parenthesis. The six would subtract the 12, leaving -6. And instead of putting -6 + 4x, you flip the negative six to the other side and remove the addition symbol. Which makes it easier to read. Hope i helped!! :)
one million.5, you multiply 6 situations 4, then 6 situations 3, which then sounds like this 24x-18=-fifty 4. Then, you upload 18 to -fifty 4 and additionally you get 24 and evidently like this 24x=36. finally, you divide 24 into 36 which equals one million and a 0.5.

You need to use the distributive property.
6 - 4(x+3)
6 - 4x + 12
4x - 6

6 – 4(x + 3)=?
6 – 4(x + 3)=> 6-4x-12=>-4x-6
6-4(x+3)
6-4x-12
-6-4x
or 4x+6

6 - ((4) x + (4) 3)
6 - (4x+12)
6 - 4x - 12
- 6 - 4x
-6-4x I think
4x-6
or
-6+4x
hope it helps :)
First I need to know what is x
