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

Answer 1

To find the sum, we first expand the expression:

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

Next, we combine like terms:

12x + 56x + 48 - 28 = 68x + 20

Finally, we express the answer in mixed number form. Since there is no fraction in the sum, we can rewrite it as:

68x + 20.
