Question

Simplify 1/4(8x+16)+4x.

Answer 1

Answer:

6x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing to do is distribute 1/4 into the parenthesis. So 1/4 times 8x and 16. Which will give you 2x and 4. Then add like terms which will be 2x + 4x which is 6x. Then you have the 4 left over so your new equation is 6x+4.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\fbox{\begin{minipage}{3em}6x + 4\end{minipage}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$A= \frac{1}{4} (8x + 16) + 4x$

Apply associate property:

$A = \frac{1}{4} *8x + \frac{1}{4} *16 + 4x$

Simplify the first two components:

$A = 2x + 4 + 4x$

Rearrange the components:

$A = 2x + 4x + 4$

Simplify:

$A = 6x + 4$

Hope this helps!
