simplify x + 5x + 8 (x +2) using distributive property

OpenStudy (anonymous):

distribute the 8(x+2) so then the equation will be x+5x+8x+16, then combine like terms which will be 14x+16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so basically its 1+5x+8x+16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be x+5x+8x+16

OpenStudy (anonymous):
