First, simplify the numerator and the denominator separately using the distributive property and order of operations: Numerator = $6(3 + 8) + 6 \cdot 3 = 6 \cdot 11 + 18 = 66 + 18 = 84$. Denominator = $6(4 - 1) = 6 \cdot 3 = 18$. Thus, the fraction simplifies to $\frac{84}{18} = \frac{14}{3}$.

Simplify - 6(3+8)+6⋅36(4−1)\frac { 6 ( 3 + 8 ) + 6 \cdot 3 } { 6 ( 4 - 1 ) }6(4−1)6(3+8)+6⋅3​
