Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf{-6+12x}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a distributive property.

Distributive property:

⇒ A(B+C)=AB+AC

9-3(5-4x)

-3(5-4x)

Expand by multiplying.

-3*5=-15

-3*4x=12x

Rewrite the problem down.

-15+12x

9-15+12x

Solve with a order of operations.

PEMDAS stands for:

  • Parenthesis
  • Exponents
  • Multiply
  • Divide
  • Add
  • Subtract

First, subtract.

9-15=-6

Rewrite the problem down.

= -6x+12

  • Therefore, the correct answer is -6x+12.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
