10. For the first question, we first use the distributive property. It states that we multiply everything within parentheses by the term outside parentheses:4(3x+2)-2 = 4(3x)+4(2)-2 = 12x+8-2Combine like terms:12x+(8-2) = 12x+6For the second question, we first find the GCF. To do this, find the prime factorization of 20 and 16:20 = 4*54 = 2*220 = 2*2*516 = 4*44 = 2*216 = 2*2*2*2For the GCF, we take the common factors; these are 2*2 = 4. This makes 4 the GCF.Factoring 4 out of 20b, we have 5b; factoring 4 out of -16 gives us -4. This gives us 4(5b-4).
