Simplify 2(x+ 5) + 4(x – 3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 6x+22

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Distrubute your 2 and 4 inside the parentheses. 2x + 2(5) + 4x - 3(4) 2x + 10 + 4x - 12 Combine like terms: 6x - 2

What @Malaria said.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's a -12 not a +12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Close, it looks like you changed a sign when you distributed the 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good effort though! Take care.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yah i did 4*3 instead of 4*-3
