Question

How do I solve 2(6x +4) +7x by simplifying the expressions?

Answer 1

19x+8

Explanation:

You multiply everything in the parenthesis by 2 and then get rid of the parenthesis so then the equation will be 12x+8+7x. Then you add 12x and 7x together because you can't add together a normal number and a variable. Then the equation will be 19x+8. This is the final equation.

Answer 2

19x+8

Explanation:

First distribute 2 into the parenthesis which will equal 12x+8+7x

Than add like terms 12x+7x = 19x

Than youre left with 19x+8 and that is the answer :}
