Answer:
30x
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! :>
