Multiply and simplify if possible. (2x+4)(x-2)

Answer 1

2x^2 - 4

Answer 2

thats wrong

Answer 3

I apologize for my mistake. The correct solution is:

(2x+4)(x-2) = 2x^2 - 4x + 4x - 8

Simplifying and combining like terms, we get:

= 2x^2 - 8

Therefore, the simplified form is 2x^2 - 8.

Answer 4

show your work

Answer 5

Certainly!

(2x+4)(x-2)

= 2x(x-2) + 4(x-2) // Distributive property

= 2x^2 - 4x + 4x - 8 // Simplifying and combining like terms

= 2x^2 - 8 // Simplifying further by combining like terms
