Question

$$2(x+8)-4(3 \times +1)$$

Evaluate

$2\left(x+2\right)$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $x+8$.

$$2x+16-4\times 3\times 1$$

Multiply $4$ and $3$ to get $12$.

$$2x+16-12\times 1$$

Multiply $12$ and $1$ to get $12$.

$$2x+16-12$$

Subtract $12$ from $16$ to get $4$.

$$2x+4$$

Expand

$2x+4$
