Answer: 10x+8

Step-by-step explanation: 6x+2(4+2x)

Distribute 2 to numbers in parenthesis

2(4) + 2(2x)

8+4x

Don't forget to keep the 6x in the equation

6x+8+4x

Combine like terms (numbers with the same variable (letter))

6x+4x

10x

Keep the 8 because it is a whole solo number

10x+8

Hope this helps!
