Step 1You want to use distribution and addition.The equation is 2(4−3t)−(−3)+2tIf we take the 2 at the beginning of the equation and multiply it into every term in the parentheses, we get:8−6t−(−3)+2tNow, we take the negative sign and distribute it into the -3 to get:8−6t+3+2tWe see that we can add the 8 and the 3 together since they are like terms (both are numbers).11−6t+2tWe also see that the -6t and the 2t can be added since they are both like terms (both are a quantity of t).11−4tAnd how it&#039;s simplified!
