Question

Simplify 8(7x – 1) + 4(x + 5).

A. 16x – 50
B. 60x + 12
C. 15x – 45
D. 6x – 45

Answer 1

Simple.....

you have:

8(7x-1)+4(x+5)

Break this down...to make it easier to solve.

8(7x-1)--->>>multiply the 8-->>

8*7x=56x

8*-1=-8

56x-8

Then....

4(x+5)---->>substitute the 4-->>

4*x=4x

4*5=20

4x+20

Now..just add. :D

56x-8+4x+20

(add your apples and oranges)

56x+4x=60x

-8+20=12

60x+12

Thus, your answer.
