    True

    Step-by-step explanation:

    5x - 3 (2x - 4)

    Expand

    5x - 6x + 12

    -x + 12

    12 - x

    () are called "parentheses" or "brackets "

    Whatever is inside the () needs to be treated as a "package".

    So when multiplying: multiply by everything inside the "package".

    Multiplying negatives has special rules: a negative times a positive gives a negative, but multiplying two negatives gives a positive:

    In that case - 3 · - 5 = + 15 (a positive answer)

    12-X=0
