Answer 1

Do you know where to start? @PoppyGirl63

Answer 2

Ok you start by solving 4(7x + 2 + x)? ok?

Answer 3

So you multiply whats on the outside of the parenthises with whats on the inside. Do you know how to do that?? @PoppyGirl63

Answer 4

You would end up getting 28x + 8 + 4x
(if you are not going to answer me though i cant hep...)

Answer 9

At the end of the parenthises it says +x and you multiply it by 4 so its 4x

Combine like terms (x's) OK? @PoppyGirl63

Answer 14

We have to sole the problem first... So combine like terms. So what is 28 + 4?

Answer 15

32

Answer 16
