Question

2(x + 14) + (2x - 14)

Answer 1

Answer:

$4x + 14$

this will be your answer

Answer 2

Answer:

30x

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 14) + (2x - 14) is our equation.

First we distribute the 2 to our first group which is (x + 14)

This is what it will leave us with: 2x + 28(2x - 14)

Then we distribute the 28 to our second group which is (2x - 14)

It will leave us with: 2x + 56x - 28

Next we will combine like terms and our terms are: 2x   56x   -28

But our like terms are: 2x   56x

If we had a 56 or 78 or ex we would add it to 28 but this time our only like terms are 2x and 56x.

After we add our like terms it will leave us with 58x - 28.

When we subtract 28 from 58x our answer will be 30x!

I hope this helps! :>
