Question 1
2 (4x - 1) + 6
Equivalent to what

Answer 1

4(2x+1)

Explanation:

First, factor it out:

2(4x-1+3)

Then calculate:

2(4x+2)

Factor out 2:

2 • 2(2x+1)

Then finally multiply:

4(2x+1)

Answer 2

2 (4x - 1) + 6 = 8x + 4 = 4(2x+1)

Explanation:

2 (4x - 1) + 6

= (2*4x + 2*-1) + 6

= 8x - 2 + 6

= 8x + 4

= 4/(2x+1)
