2+8(x-1)

Answer 1

Hey there!

2 + 8(x - 1)

= 2 + 8(x) + 8(-1)

DISTRIBUTE 8 WITHIN the PARENTHESES

= 2 + 8x - 8

COMBINE the LIKE TERMS

= (2 - 8) + (8x)

= 8x + (2 - 8)

= 8x - 6

Therefore, your answer should be: 8x - 6

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Answer 2

=> 2 + 8 (x - 1)

=> 2 + 8(x) + 8(-1)

=> 2 + 8x - 8

After combining the like terms,

=> (2 - 8) + (8x)

=> 8x + (2 - 8)

=> 8x - 6
