Answer 1

Given:

The expression is

`2(10)+2(x-4)`

To find:

The simplified form of the given expression.

Solution:

We have,

`2(10)+2(x-4)`

Using distributive property, we get

`=20+2(x)+2(-4)`

`=20+2x+(-8)`

`=20+2x-8`

On combining like terms, we get

`=2x+(20-8)`

`=2x+16`

Therefore, the correct option is A.
