Question

Simplify expression by distribution 8(×-2)​

Answer 1

8x - 16

Explanation:

To simplify the expression 8(x - 2) by distributing, we will multiply 8 by each term inside the parentheses, which is x and -2:

8(x) - 8(2)

Multiply:

8x - 16

So, 8(x - 2) simplifies to 8x - 16, since there are no like terms and cannot be simplified further.
