Simplify each expression by using the distributive property and combining like terms. 3 ● (2x - 4) - 4x

Hello!

So, let's simplify using the distributive property.

Let's look at 3(2x - 4). You want to multiply 3 by every term inside the parentheses.

3*2x = 6x

3*-4= - 12

So now our expression looks like this:

(6x - 12) - 4x

Now we combine like terms. Our only like terms are 6x and -4x.

6x - 4x = 2x. So, our simplified expression is:

2x - 12.

the transverse axis of a hyperbola is the line that contains the two vertices and the two focuses.

in this example (hyperbola of equation x^2/2 - y^2/4 = 1), the transverse axis is the  x-axis  .
