To simplify the expression \( 6(2x^2 + 4x) + 10(4x^2 + 3x) \), follow these steps:
-
Distribute the constants across the terms inside the parentheses:
\[ 6(2x^2 + 4x) = 6 \cdot 2x^2 + 6 \cdot 4x = 12x^2 + 24x \]
\[ 10(4x^2 + 3x) = 10 \cdot 4x^2 + 10 \cdot 3x = 40x^2 + 30x \]
-
Combine the results:
\[ 12x^2 + 24x + 40x^2 + 30x \]
-
Combine like terms:
-
For \(x^2\) terms: \[ 12x^2 + 40x^2 = 52x^2 \]
-
For \(x\) terms: \[ 24x + 30x = 54x \]
-
-
Therefore, the simplified expression is:
\[ 52x^2 + 54x \]
Thus, the final simplified expression is \( \boxed{52x^2 + 54x} \).
