Step-by-step explanation:
Hey, there!
While simplifying the algebraic expression you must remember: multiply or take LCM first and then add or or subtract like terms then if there is division then you may cut like terms of numerator and denominator.
Here,
[tex] - 2(x - 1) + 3(6x - 7)[/tex]
Is given.
Multiply (x,-1) by -2 and (6x,-7) by 3.
[tex] (- 2x + 2) + (18x - 21)[/tex]
open brackets.
[tex] = - 2x + 2 + 18x - 21[/tex]
Add and subtract like terms.
[tex] = - 2x + 18x + 2 - 21[/tex]
[tex] = 16x - 19[/tex]
Therefore, the answer is (16x - 19).
Hope it helps.....
