This is done by using a method called the distributive property. This is actually quite simple if we had x(y+z) we would distribute that xx, and get xy+xz. This is what we will use to solve this problem.

If we take 6(5-2x) -4(3x+1) I have made the + sign bold, assuming that this is the symbol there.

So next we'd use the distributive property and get 30-12x-12x-4.

Now we would combine like terms, and get 26-24x.
