Question

Simplify the expression and explain each step . 4(3x+2)-2

Answer 1

Ok, so first we distribute "4" over 3x and 2. Distributing is basically multiplying the value next to the parenthesis by the values inside. From there, you get 12x+8-2. Then, you combine like terms, subtracting 2 from 8. The simplified expression is 12x+6!! :) Hope I helped!

4(3x+2)-2

12x+8-2

12x+6
