Answer:
2x ( -3x + 14)
Explanation:
What is Distribution Property?
Distribution property is used in a format like a ( b + c ). To simplify these kinds of expressions, we multiply the outside term by each of the inside terms. So in this instance, a ( b + c ) is equal to ab + ac.
Let's put this in the expression
3x ( 2x - 8 ) + 4x
Let's use what we learned above, and multiply the outside term (-3x) by each of the inside terms.
-3x · 2x + (-3x) · (-8) +4x
Simplify by multiplication:
-6x² + 24x +4x
Finally, we add:
-6x² +28x
Now, to simplify further, we can look for terms that show up in numbers.
We can see that the variable x is present in each of the terms, so we can factor that out, removing it from the term as follows:
x ( -6x + 28)
We can look and see that 2 is also a common factor between the two terms, so we can take that out too.
2x ( -3x + 14)
This is the most simplified it can get.
