Starting with the given expression:
2(5x + 4) + 3(2x - 1)
Distribute the 2 and 3 to the terms inside the parentheses:
= 10x + 8 + 6x - 3
Combine like terms:
= (10x + 6x) + (8 - 3)
= 16x + 5
2(5x + 4) + 3(2x - 1)
Distribute the 2 and 3 to the terms inside the parentheses:
= 10x + 8 + 6x - 3
Combine like terms:
= (10x + 6x) + (8 - 3)
= 16x + 5
