Answer 1

To simplify the expression:

\[ 8 + 4 + 0 + 8 + 4 + 20 \]

Let's add the numbers together step by step:

1. First, let's add \(8\) and \(4\): \[ 8 + 4 = 12 \]

2. Now, add \(0\): \[ 12 + 0 = 12 \]

3. Add the next \(8\): \[ 12 + 8 = 20 \]

4. Then add \(4\) again: \[ 20 + 4 = 24 \]

5. Finally, add \(20\): \[ 24 + 20 = 44 \]

Thus, the fully simplified expression is:

\[ \boxed{44} \]
