Answer:

2x + 16

Explanation:

2W + 2P

= 2(3x + 1) + 2(- 2x + 7) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 6x + 2 - 4x + 14 ← collect like terms

= 2x + 16

Answer:

2x+16

Explanation:

2W+2P

Lets substitute the W and the P for their respective values.

2(3x+1) + 2(-2x+2)

Simplify

6x + 2 + -4x + 4

Simplify again

2x + 6

And there you have it!
