To simplify the expression (3(x-4) - 2(x+1) - x) using the distributive property, first distribute the terms:

  1. (3(x-4) = 3x - 12)
  2. (-2(x+1) = -2x - 2)

Now, combine all the parts:

[3x - 12 - 2x - 2 - x = (3x - 2x - x) + (-12 - 2) = 0x - 14 = -14.]

Thus, the expression simplifies to (-14).
