Question

Distribute property to simplify 4(3x+2)

Answer 1

Here is the equation:

$4(3x+2)$

Since 4 is next to the parentheses, you have to multiply everything in the parentheses by 4.

First multiply 3x by 4:

$3x \times 4 = 12x$

Now multiply 2 by 4:

$4 \times 2 = 8$

Now add them together:

$12x+8 = 12x +8$

Your answer is 12x + 8
