Can you please explain to me how to use the distributive property to simplify this expression 2(4 + x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply whatever is on the outside of the parenthesis with what is on the inside of them. So 2*4 and 2*x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it'll end up being 2x+8

Thank you so much! :)
