Final answer:

The question asks for a mathematical expression to be simplified, but it is unclear due to errors. An elaboration of the process to solve a similar, correctly written math problem is provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to simplify a math equation by combining like terms and fully expanding all products. In this case, we seem to have some errors in the given expression which makes it hard to give a correct simplified answer.

An example with clearly labeled terms could be: 4 * 2 + 4 + 7 * 2 - 3 * 8. The approach to solving this would be:

  1. First handle expressions with multiplication: 4 * 2 = 8; 7 * 2 = 14; 3 * 8 = 24
  2. Then combine all numbers using addition and subtraction: 8 + 4 + 14 - 24.
  3. Finally, add up all the numbers to get the sum: 8 + 4 + 14 - 24 = 2.

I hope this helps! Practice problems of this type will increase your confidence in simplifying mathematical expressions.
