4(3x+2)−2

12x + 8 - 2
12x + 6
Answered by saskue uchiha
Also another question but I want to solve the first one first.

Factor the expression completely. (1 point)

20b−16
Answered by saskue uchiha
wait so do you add 12x and 6? So would it be 18x?
Answered by saskue uchiha
Also where it the 8 from? Sorry, I just want to understand it
Answered by Ms. Sue
No. You can't add 18x and 6. We don't know what x is.

4 * 2 = 8

Sorry -- but I don't know how to factor that expression.

Answered by saskue uchiha
If you don't mind showing the steps broken down I would like that, unless you have no time. Also, do you know any other tutors that could help me with the other question?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Repost the other question in another post. There will be several math tutors on this evening.
