Add: 12(x+4)+14(4x−2). Answer should be in mixed number form.(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve this expression, we will first distribute the coefficients:

12(x + 4) = 12x + 48
14(4x - 2) = 56x - 28

Next, we will combine like terms:

12x + 48 + 56x - 28

Now, we will combine the x terms and the constant terms separately:

(12x + 56x) + (48 - 28)

This simplifies to:

68x + 20

To express this answer in mixed number form, we divide the coefficient (68) by the coefficient of x (20):

68 ÷ 20 = 3 with a remainder of 8

Therefore, the answer in mixed number form is:

3 8/20
