6(-2a-4b) + 3(-7b-5a) = -(12(a+2b)+3(5a+7b)) = -3(4a+5a + 8b+7b)
 = -3(9a+15b) = -9(3a+5b)

-4b(2a-6b) + 5(7ab-2b2) = b(-8a+24b + 35a-10b) = b(27a+14b)

3(1-7x) - 4(-4+10x) = 3 - 21x +16 - 40x = 19-61x

7a - (-2b - 3(4a - (6b-4a))) = 7a - (-2b - 3(4a - 6b + 4a))
 = 7a - (-2b - 3(8a - 6b)) = 7a - (-2b - 24a + 18b) = 7a - (-24a + 16b)
 = 7a + 24a - 16b = 31a-16b

Your instructor may require the first two to be multiplied out. (The 1st and 4th problems in your list are duplicates.)

First & Last Simplified:
 
======
6(-2a - 4b) + 3(-7b - 5a)
=> -12a - 24b - 21b - 15a
=> -12a - 15a - 21b - 24b
=> -27a - 45b
======
 
7a - {-2b -3[4a - (6b - 4a)]}
=> 7a - {-2b - 3[4a - 6b +4a]}
=> 7a - {-2b - 12a + 18b - 12a}
=> 7a - {-2b + 18b - 12a - 12a}
=> 7a - {16b - 14a}
=> 7a - 16b + 14a
=> 21a - 16b

Yes it is my homework I'm just trying to figure out if I did it right.

As a rule, you will get better results here if you don't post the entire homework set. One or two sample problems are usually sufficient for your purpose, and much less likely to trigger the "I'm not going to do your homework for you" response.
