Question

Expand and simplify
4(2a + 4b) + 3(2a + 2b)​

Answer 1

14a + 22b

Explanation:

First, we need to expand:

4(2a) + 4(4b) + 3(2a) + 3(2b)

Now, we can continue and solve

8a + 16b + 6a + 6b

We can simplify

8a + 6a + 16b + 6b

14a + 22b

The answer is 14a + 22b because we don't know the values of a or b, so we cannot solve anymore.

Happy learning!

Answer 2

14a+22b

Explanation:

4(2a+4b) + 3(2a+2b)

Distribute the 4

8a+16b + 3(2a+2b)

Distribute the 3

8a+16b+6a+6b

Combine like terms

14a+22b
