To simplify the expression \(2(2x + 7)\), apply the distributive property:
\[ 2(2x + 7) = 2 \cdot 2x + 2 \cdot 7 \]
Calculating each term gives:
\[ 2 \cdot 2x = 4x \] \[ 2 \cdot 7 = 14 \]
So, combining these results, we have:
\[ 2(2x + 7) = 4x + 14 \]
Thus, the expression that is equivalent to \(2(2x + 7)\) is:
4x + 14.
