Answer:

The answer is: 6x - 6

Explanation:

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

4x - 8 + 2 (x + 1)

4x - 8 + 2x + 2

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

= 6x - 6

Hope this helps!

Answer:

6x - 6

Explanation:

assuming you require the expression to be simplified, then

4(x - 2) + 2(x + 1) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 4x - 8 + 2x + 2 ← collect like terms

= 6x - 6
