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:

\[
\boxed{44}
\]
