Helpppp

Answer 1

i thinks it 18

Answer 2

and i don't think u have to simplify seeing it in its simplest form

Answer 3

nvm im wrong here the answers
12+6
4(5b-4)

Answer 4

Thank sooooooooo much students u are so smart i love u all .good job on cheating

Answer 5

4(3x+2)-2 when simplified becomes 12x + 6.
When 20b - 16 is completely factored, the expression becomes 4(5b - 4).
The BODMAS rule would be used to simplify the expression, BODMAS is an abbreviation for bracket, of, division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction. It dictates the order in which a mathematical expression should be solved.
4(3x+2)-2
The first step is to expand the term in the bracket by multiplying by 4
12x + 8 - 2
The second step is to add similar terms together
12x + 6
In order to simplify the expression, the highest common factor of 20 and 16 has to be determined. The highest common factor is 4.
The second step is to divide both numbers by 4.
The expression becomes 4(5b - 4).
