Final answer:

To rewrite the expression by applying the Distributive Property and combining like terms, multiply each term inside the parentheses by the number outside, and then simplify the expression by combining like terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asked to rewrite an expression by applying the Distributive Property and combining like terms.

To do this, the Distributive Property states that when you multiply a number by a sum or difference, you can multiply the number by each term inside the parentheses and then combine like terms.

For example, if the expression is 2(3x + 4), you would distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses to get 6x + 8. Then, you can simplify the expression by combining like terms, which would result in your final answer.
