Use the distributive law...
-2(x+3y)+4(2x+y) Multiply
-2*x -2*3y + 4*2x + 4*y
then it becomes
-2x -6y +8x +4y : Combine like terms.
6x -2y will be your answer.

-2x-6y+8x+4y
6x-2y
1) Compute what is in parenthesis first.
2) Group like terms together. Put the numbers with same letters together.
3) Add or subtract from left to right.

-2(x+3y)+4(2x+y)
First, let's use the distributive property.
-2x-6y+8x+4y
Next, let's combine the values with the same terms.
-2x+8x-6y+4y
6x-2y
So the answer is 6x-2y...

first you have to distribute
-2(x+3y)+4(2x+y)
-2x-6y+8x+4y
then combine like terms
6x-2y
your answer is: 6x-2y

- 2x - 6y + 8x + 4y
= 6x - 2y
= 2.(3x - y)
