PLEASE HELP For the expression below, write two other equivalent expressions using different terms. Make sure one is fully simplified. -4(x+2)-2x+4

Sagot :

Given:

The given expression is

[tex]-4(x+2)-2x+4[/tex]

To find:

The two other equivalent expressions.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]-4(x+2)-2x+4[/tex]

Using distributive property, we get

[tex]=-4(x)-4(2)-2x+4[/tex]

[tex]=-4x-8-2x+4[/tex]

So, one equivalent expression is [tex]-4x-8-2x+4[/tex].

On further simplification, we get

[tex]=(-4x-2x)+(-8+4)[/tex]

[tex]=6x-4[/tex]

Therefore, the second and fully simplified equivalent expression is [tex]6x-4[/tex].
