Given expression:

  • 4 + 8(3x - 2) - 7x

Simplify it in below steps:

  • 4 + 8(3x - 2) - 7x =                    Given
  • 4 + 8(3x) + 8(-2) - 7x =              Distribute
  • 4 + 24x - 16 - 7x =                     Simplify
  • (24x - 7x) + (4 - 16) =                 Collect like terms
  • (24 - 7)x + (-12) =                       Simplify
  • 17x - 12                                      Answer

Answer:

4+(8×3x)+(8×(-2))-7x

4+24x-16-7x

4-16+24x-7x

-12+17x

or 17x-12
