(Part B.) Use the distributive property used to rewrite your expression for part A as a product

anonymous · Answer

Part A:
Step 1:             Distributive property
4(3x+2)−2 

4×3x=12x 

4×2=8 
------------------------------------------
12x+8−2         Subtract

8−2=6 
------------------------------------------
12x+6     < ---- answer
Part B: I don't understand
