Given:

The expression is

[tex]3(2x-4)-4x[/tex]

To find:

The simplified form of the given expression by using the distributive property and combining like terms.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]3(2x-4)-4x[/tex]

Using the distributive property, we get

[tex]=3(2x)+3(-4)-4x[/tex]

[tex]=6x-12-4x[/tex]

On combining like terms, we get

[tex]=(6x-4x)-12[/tex]

[tex]=2x-12[/tex]

Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression is [tex]2x-12[/tex].
