To simplify the expression 2(3x+4)−3(2x−2)+8(x−5), we can distribute the coefficients to the terms inside the parentheses and combine like terms.
First, let's distribute 2 to (3x+4):
2(3x+4) = 6x + 8
Next, let's distribute -3 to (2x-2):
-3(2x-2) = -6x + 6
Finally, let's distribute 8 to (x-5):
8(x-5) = 8x - 40
Now, combining like terms, we have:
6x + 8 - 6x + 6 + 8x - 40
Simplifying further, we have:
(6x - 6x + 8x) + (8 + 6 - 40)
This simplifies to:
8x + 14 - 40
And finally, combining like terms again, we get:
8x - 26
Therefore, the simplified expression is 8x - 26.
Simplify the expression.
