| ① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{3} $ by $ \left( x-2\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{3} \cdot \left( x-2\right) = 3x-6 $$Multiply $ \color{blue}{2} $ by $ \left( 4x-1\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{2} \cdot \left( 4x-1\right) = 8x-2 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{3x} \color{red}{-6} + \color{blue}{8x} \color{red}{-2} = \color{blue}{11x} \color{red}{-8} $$ |
