Use the properties of operations to add 4 (g-2)+(g+2)

1 answer

To add the given expression, we can use the distributive property by multiplying 4 by each term within the parentheses:

4(g-2) + 4(g+2)

This results in:

4g - 8 + 4g + 8

Next, we can combine like terms, which in this case are the terms with "g" and the constant terms:

(4g + 4g) + (-8 + 8)

Combining like terms, we get:

8g + 0

Finally, any term plus zero is equal to the original term, so the simplified expression is:

8g
