To simplify, you must distribute the 2 into the 5x and -4 by multiplying 2 with 5x and 2 with -4.

2(5x – 4) + 3x

2 x 5x = 10x

2 x -4 = -8

 You will get 10x - 8 + 3x

Now you must combine like terms or add like terms. In this case we must add 10x and 3x

10x + 3x = 13x

Finally the answer would be 13x - 8

= 10x-8+3x (multiply 2 with (5x-4))
=13x-8 (then add 10x+3x will give you 13x)

Answer should be 13x-8

Hope this helps!
