Question

Subtract: 2(10b+4)−(b−2)
.(1 point)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 2(10b+4)−(b−2) \), follow these steps:

1. Distribute the 2 in the first term:
\[
2(10b) + 2(4) = 20b + 8
\]

2. Distribute the negative sign in the second term:
\[
-(b - 2) = -b + 2
\]

3. Combine the simplified terms:
\[
20b + 8 - b + 2
\]

4. Combine like terms:
\[
(20b - b) + (8 + 2) = 19b + 10
\]

Thus, the result of the subtraction is:
\[
\boxed{19b + 10}
\]
