(2 points)

1 answer

To simplify the expression \( 4(x + 3) - 10 + 6x \), we will start with distributing the \( 4 \) into the parentheses:

\[ 4(x + 3) = 4x + 12 \]

Now, substitute this back into the expression:

\[ 4x + 12 - 10 + 6x \]

Next, simplify by combining like terms:

\[ 4x + 6x + 12 - 10 = 10x + 2 \]

Now, the expression simplifies to \( 10x + 2 \).

Assuming you have options or expressions to choose from, the two equivalent expressions you should select are those which also simplify to \( 10x + 2 \). If you have specific options, please provide them for identification.
