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]
=============================================
