Question

Use the Distributive Property and simplify the expression.
9 + 4(2x – 1) + 8

Answer 1

8x+13 is the answer

Answer 2

9 + 4(2x – 1) + 8
The first thing we need to do is distribute 4 to everything in the parenthesis.
4(2x - 1)
4 * 2x = 8x
4 * -1 = -4
Putting this together:
9 + 8x - 4 + 8
Combine like terms.
8x + 13 <--- Answer. (:
