Answer 1

Answer:

4(2x - 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

(x * 2 - 3) * 4

= 4(2x - 3)

Answer 2

Answer:

(2x - 3)*4

Step-by-step explanation:

"I think of a number" : OK, I'm thinking of my x

"multiply it by 2" : Now I have two of them: 2x

"subtract 3": Here we go: -3

"multiply the result [ (2x-3)] by 4: multiply by 4: *4

Now put them all together: (2x - 3)*4
