Math Problem Statement

Expand the brackets and simplify the expression 3(6c - 4) + 7c.

Solution

Let's expand and simplify the expression provided in the image:

3(6c4)+7c3(6c - 4) + 7c

Step 1: Expand the brackets

Distribute the 33 to both terms inside the brackets:

3×6c=18c3 \times 6c = 18c 3×4=123 \times -4 = -12

This gives us the expanded expression:

18c12+7c18c - 12 + 7c

Step 2: Simplify the expression

Combine like terms. In this case, we can combine the terms involving cc:

18c+7c=25c18c + 7c = 25c

So, the simplified expression is:

25c1225c - 12

Final Answer:

25c1225c - 12
