Calculation of a Linear Combination

<p>The given expression is a linear combination of numbers:</p> <p>To solve the expression, perform the operations as indicated:</p> <p>\( 3(0.6) + 3(7) - 6 \left( \frac{2}{3} \right) \)</p> <p>First, multiply each term inside the parentheses:</p> <p>\( 3 \times 0.6 = 1.8 \)</p> <p>\( 3 \times 7 = 21 \)</p> <p>\( 6 \times \frac{2}{3} = 4 \)</p> <p>Combine the results of the multiplications:</p> <p>\( 1.8 + 21 - 4 \)</p> <p>Now, add and subtract the numbers:</p> <p>\( 1.8 + 21 = 22.8 \)</p> <p>\( 22.8 - 4 = 18.8 \)</p> <p>So the solution to the expression is:</p> <p>\( 18.8 \)</p>
