Tao wants to check that the expression 3(4x – 6) simplifies to 12x – 18. What is the value when 2 is substituted for x into both expressions?
The value of each expression is 2.
The value of each expression is 6.
The value of one expression is 2, and the value of the other expression is 6.
The value of one expression is 6, and the value of the other expression is –6.

The value of each expression is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

3(4x – 6)

Substituting 2 in for x

3(4*2 – 6)

Multiply first inside the parentheses

3(8-6)

Then subtract inside the parentheses

3(2)

Then multiply

6

Now check the second expression

12x-18

12*2 -18

24-18

6

Both expressions equal 6

The value of each expression is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3(4x-6)

Substituting x for 2

3(4(2)-6)

3(8-6)

3(2)

3X2

=6

12x-18

Substituting x for 2

12(2)-18

24-18

=6
