Question

Which expression is equivalent to 2 (t-4) +1. A 2t-5 B.2t-7 C. 2t-9 D. 2t -3

Answer 1

Answer: 2t + -8

Step-by-step explanation: Let's simplify this problem using the distributive property.

The first thing we want to do is change this minus to plus a negative.

Now we can distribute or multiply this 2 times

each of the terms inside the set of parentheses.

So we get 2(t) + 2(-4) and this simplifies to 2t + -8.

2t + -8 is the same thing as 2t -8.
