Question

4(2v + 2) - 12 simplify and use distributive property

Answer 1

1. Expand by distributing terms

8v + 8 - 12

2. Collect like terms

8v + (8 - 12)

3. Simplify

8v - 4

Answer 2

8v - 4

Explanation:

Simplify:

Distributive property: a*(b + c) = (a*b) + (a *c)

4(2v + 2) - 12 = (4*2v) + (4*2) - 12

= 8v + 8 - 12

= 8v - 4
