Simplify −4(x+1)+6x . Write your answer in factored form.

Sagot :

Answer:

2(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

- 4(x + 1) + 6x ← distribute parenthesis by - 4

= - 4x - 4 + 6x ← collect like terms

= 2x - 4 ← factor out 2 from each term

= 2(x - 2)

hello!

=================================================

Let's simplify this expression.

The first step is to use the distributive property, which states:-

[tex]\bigstar{\boxed{a(b+c)}[/tex]

Simplify:-

[tex]\bigstar{\boxed{-4(x+1)}[/tex]

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{-4x-4}[/tex]

Add 6x:-

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{-4x+6x-4}[/tex]

Combine Like Terms:-

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{2x-4}[/tex]

Now, we should write our answer in factored form, so we factor 2 out:-

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{2(x-2)}[/tex]

=============================================
