Simplify 4X plus 8X using the properties of operations

1 answer

To simplify 4X plus 8X using the properties of operations, we combine the like terms. In this case, both terms have the variable X and can be combined.

When we add like terms, we add the coefficients (the numbers in front of the variables). In this case, the coefficients are 4 and 8.

4X + 8X = (4+8)X = 12X

Therefore, 4X plus 8X simplifies to 12X.
