Question

Can someone do b and c? or just one

Answer 1

b) 4(x+2) + 8(x-1)

first we distribute the 4

4x+ 8 + 8(x-1)

now we distribute the 8

4x+8 + 8x-8

now we combine the 4x and the 8x because they have the same variable so they are like terms

12x +8-8

the 8 cancels out so

b) 12x

now c)

3(w-5) - 6(w+2)

distribute 3

3w-15 - 6(w+2)

now distribute -6

3w-15 -6w -12

combine 3w and -6w because they are like terms

-3w -15-12

now combine -15 and -12

answer to c: -3w-27
