Expand the expression and write the result in canonical form.
3 · (2x − 4) =
Answer like "6x − 12" or "6x + 12".
What does this generator do?
The generator builds expressions of the form k·(ax + b) with integer coefficients. Expand them.
How to solve it
Distributive property: k·(ax + b) = (k·a)·x + k·b. Multiply k by each term inside the parentheses and write the result.
