Question

My little sister needs help 2(4x-1)=?

Answer 1

8x-2, or
`(1)/(4)` if you meant it with a zero at the end

Explanation:

When a factor is outside the parentheses, multiply what is inside it by the factor in front!

`2(4x-1)=2*4x+2*-1=8x-2`

Or if you meant it with a 0 at the end,

`8x-2=0\\8x=2\\x=(2)/(8)\\ x=(1)/(4)`

Hope this helps!

P.S. Hi little Sis! Hope you get better at math!
