%281%2F3%29%286x%2B3%29-4%283x-2%29 Start with the given expression.


%281%2F3%29%286x%29%2B%281%2F3%29%283%29-4%283x%29-4%28-2%29 Distribute.


6x%2F3%2B3%2F3-12x%2B8 Multiply.


2x%2B1-12x%2B8 Reduce.


-10x%2B9 Combine like terms.


So %281%2F3%29%286x%2B3%29-4%283x-2%29=-10x%2B9 which makes the answer A)
