Question

Simplify(14x + 14)(2x + 8)

Answer 1

The given expression is

`\mleft(14x+14\mright)\mleft(2x+8\mright)​`

First, we use the distributive property

`\begin{gathered} 14x\cdot2x+14x\cdot8+14\cdot2x+14\cdot8 \\ 28x^2+112x+28x+112 \end{gathered}`

Then, we reduce like terms

`28x^2+140x+112`

Hence, the simplest expression is

`28x^2+140x+112`
