What expression is equivalent to 2(24x-18), 3(16x-12), 4(12x-9)

2(24x - 18)  = 48x - 36

3(16x-12) = 48x - 36

4(12x - 9) = 48x - 36

Therefore, they all equal 48x - 36

How to solve the problem is

1) Factor out the common term which is 2.

2(1+2b)/2_>3b+6

2) Cancel 2.

1+2b_>3b+6

3) Subtract 1 from both sides.

2b_>3b+6-1

4) Simplify 3b+6 -1 to 3b+5

2b_> 3b+5

5) Subtract 3b from both sides.

2b-3b_>5

6) Simplify 2b-3b to -b.

-b_>5

7) Multiply both sides by -1

b_< -5

Hope this helps :)
