Simplify this expression and show each step.
4(3x + 2) -2
= 12x + 8 - 2
= 12x + 6
Factor the expression completely
20b - 16
= 4(5b - 4)
4(3x + 2) -2
= 12x + 8 - 2
= 12x + 6
Factor the expression completely
20b - 16
= 4(5b - 4)
[tex]4(3x+2)-2[/tex] Expression
[tex]12x+8-2[/tex] Distribute the 4 into the parenthesis
[tex]12x+6[/tex] Simplify
[tex]20b-16[/tex] Expression
[tex]4(5b-4)[/tex] Take out GCF of 4
[tex]5b-4=0[/tex] Set up equal to 0
[tex]5b=4[/tex] Add 4 to both sides
[tex]b= \frac{4}{5} [/tex] Divide by 5 on both sides
