$6 y - 6 x + 8$ $6y-6x+8$

Given: $6 (y - x) + 8$ $" "6(ycolor(magenta)(-)x)+8$

Multiply everything inside the brackets by 6
Be very careful about the signs

$(6 \times y) - (6 \times x) + 8$ $(6xxy)color(magenta)(-)(6xx x) + 8$

$6 y - 6 x + 8$ $6ycolor(magenta)(-)6x+8$

How do you simplify 6 (y - x) + 86(y−x)+86 (y - x) + 8?
