Question

PLEASE HELP For the expression below, write two other equivalent expressions using different terms. Make sure one is fully simplified. -4(x+2)-2x+4

Answer 1

Given:

The given expression is

`-4(x+2)-2x+4`

To find:

The two other equivalent expressions.

Solution:

We have,

`-4(x+2)-2x+4`

Using distributive property, we get

`=-4(x)-4(2)-2x+4`

`=-4x-8-2x+4`

So, one equivalent expression is
`-4x-8-2x+4`.

On further simplification, we get

`=(-4x-2x)+(-8+4)`

`=6x-4`

Therefore, the second and fully simplified equivalent expression is
`6x-4`.
