−12(-6x+3) = 72x - 36.
To simplify the expression −12(−6x+3), you need to distribute the −12 to both terms inside the parentheses.
First, distribute −12 to −6x:
−12 * −6x = 72x
Next, distribute −12 to 3:
−12 * 3 = -36
Putting these together, the expression simplifies to:
72x - 36
To simplify the expression −12(−6x+3), you can distribute the -12 to each term inside the parentheses. Multiplying -12 by -6x gives you 72x, and multiplying -12 by 3 gives you -36.
So the simplified expression becomes 72x - 36.
Therefore, none of the options provided (-3x-3, -3x+3/2, 3x+3/2, 3x-32) are correct. The correct simplified expression is 72x - 36.
