Could you simplify this and show your work? Thank you

(x-3) x + (4-x) 2x

Distribute your x and 2x first

x2 - 3x + 8x - 2x2

Add and subtract like terms (x2 - 2x2 & -3x + 8x)

Answer
-x2 +5x

P.s. that is negative x squared + 5x

I'm guessing you meant x(x-3) + 2x(4-x)

Multiply the parenthesis with the outside number x^2 - 3x + 8x - 2x^2

Combine like terms. -x^2 - 5x

There you go
