Multiply each term inside the parentheses by the factor outside the parentheses 2(x - 4) = 2 x + 2(-4) Multiply Simplify.2(×-4)=2x+2(-4)



Answer :

We have the expression:

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

We solve as follows:

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

If we want to simplify further, we will get:

[tex]2x=2x\Rightarrow x=x\Rightarrow0=0[/tex]

***

In order to simplify the expression:

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

We multiply 2 times x and add 2 times -4, that is:

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

Now, we multiply 2 times -4 in both sides, that is:

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