Simplify 3x+6(2x-y)-(32-x)

$3 x + 6 (2 x - y) - (32 - x)$

Step 1

Simplify each term.

Apply the distributive property.

$3 x + 6 (2 x) + 6 (- y) - (32 - x)$

Multiply $2$ by $6$ .

$3 x + 12 x + 6 (- y) - (32 - x)$

Multiply $- 1$ by $6$ .

$3 x + 12 x - 6 y - (32 - x)$

Apply the distributive property.

$3 x + 12 x - 6 y - 1 \cdot 32 - - x$

Multiply $- 1$ by $32$ .

$3 x + 12 x - 6 y - 32 - - x$

Multiply $- - x$ .

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 1$ .

$3 x + 12 x - 6 y - 32 + 1 x$

Multiply $x$ by $1$ .

$3 x + 12 x - 6 y - 32 + x$

$3 x + 12 x - 6 y - 32 + x$

$3 x + 12 x - 6 y - 32 + x$

Step 2

Simplify by adding terms.

Add $3 x$ and $12 x$ .

$15 x - 6 y - 32 + x$
