Question

What is the simplified expression of the expression below? 4(x+8)+5(x-3)

Answer 1

9x+17

Explanation:

Answer 2

same as before, distribute the common factor outside and simplify by adding like-terms.

4(x+8) = 4x + 32

5(x-3) = 5x - 15

therefore

4(x+8)+5(x-3) => 4x + 32 + 5x - 15 => 9x +17.
