Question

Distribute property to simplify 4(3x+2)

Answer 1

Here is the equation:

`4(3x+2)`

Since 4 is next to the parentheses, you have to multiply everything in the parentheses by 4.

First multiply 3x by 4:

`3x * 4 = 12x`

Now multiply 2 by 4:

`4 * 2 = 8`

Now add them together:

`12x+8 = 12x +8`

Your answer is 12x + 8
