Simplify the algebraic expression 2w + 2(7w -5)

Answer 1

Simplifying the expression 2w + 2(7w - 5) involves applying the distributive property.

First, distribute the 2 to (7w - 5):

2w + 2(7w) + 2(-5)

Simplifying, we get:

2w + 14w - 10

Now, combine like terms:

(2w + 14w) - 10

16w - 10

So, the simplified expression is 16w - 10.

Answer 2

are you sure

Answer 3

Apologies for my mistake. Let's go through the simplification process again:

2w + 2(7w - 5)

Using the distributive property, we have:

2w + 14w - 10

Combining like terms, we get:

(2w + 14w) - 10

16w - 10

So, the correct simplified expression is 16w - 10.

Answer 4

still incorrect

Answer 5

Apologies for the confusion. Let's simplify the expression again correctly:

2w + 2(7w - 5)

Using the distributive property, we have:

2w + 14w - 10

Combine like terms:

(2w + 14w) - 10

16w - 10

So, the simplified expression is 16w - 10.
