Given the question
4 (3x -6) + 2x + 18
To simplify the above expression, we will observe the following steps
Step 1: Expand the parenthesis (bracket)
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4(3x-6)+2x+18 \\ \Rightarrow4\times3x-\text{ 4x6 + 2x+18} \\ \Rightarrow12x\text{ -24+2x +18} \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 2: Simplify the expression by collecting like terms
[tex]\Rightarrow\text{ 12x +2x -24+18}[/tex][tex]14x\text{ -6}[/tex]Answer = 14x - 6
