1. Use the distributive property to write the problem without parentheses. The distributive property says that you can multiply a number next to parentheses by all the numbers inside parentheses. The picture below explains.

$4(2x+9)=\\\\(4*2x)+(4*9)=\\\\4(2x+9)= 8x+36$

Therefore, your answer is

$\fbox{8x+36}$

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

294 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of cars and y be the number of trucks.

We have been given that the first dealership sells a total of 164 cars and trucks. We can represent this information as:

$x+y=164...(1)$

The second dealership sells twice as many cars and half as many trucks as the first dealership. So the number of cars sold by 2nd dealership will be 2x and number of trucks sold by 2nd dealership will be y/2.

Further, the 2nd dealership sold a total of 229 cars and trucks. We can represent this information as:

$2x+\frac{y}{2}=229...(2)$
