Question

What is 4(x+2)= using distributive property

Answer 1

4x+6 because when you distribute you cant multiply 4 times x because there not alike so it becomes 4 x all together. and then you multiply 4 times 2 which gives you 6

Answer 2

Multiply everything in the parentheses by the 4

this equals 4x + 2

since one term has a variable and ine doesnt, they cannot be combined.
