Simplify the expression. 2(3x+4)−3(2x−2)+8(x−5) (1 point) Responses 20x−26 20 x minus 26 8x−38 8 x minus 38 8x−26 8 x minus 26 20x+54

Answer 1

Simplifying the expression:
2(3x+4) - 3(2x-2) + 8(x-5)

Distributing:
6x + 8 - 6x + 6 + 8x - 40

Combining like terms:
(6x - 6x + 8x) + (8 - 40 + 6)

Simplifying further:
8x + (-32 + 6)
8x - 26

The simplified expression is 8x - 26.
