Question

Simplify this expression
Show you work using the CER strategy.

4(8x + 1)-6(1-8x)

Answer 1

I do believe this is the CER strategy, but if not, I’m sorry.

1. Multiply the numbers outside the parentheses with the numbers inside the parentheses. That would give you 32x+4-6+48x.

2. Merge like terms, which would give you 80x-2.

3. Unless your given the value for X, the answer is 80x-2.
