Answer 1

28x + 14 + 4x + 16 = 32x+30

Explanation:

you can have many different ways to approach this. The easiest is to simplify it, which is what I've done here.

group the x together and the integers together then you get this.

(28x+4x)+(14+16)

and yes, the answer is 158 for both. Test it yourself!
