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