Teach me how to solve this problem:

(4x + 3) + (-2 + 4)

1 answer

To solve the expression \((4x + 3) + (-2 + 4)\), you can follow these steps:

  1. Simplify the expression inside the parentheses: Start with the part \(-2 + 4\). \[ -2 + 4 = 2 \]

  2. Substitute the simplified value back into the expression: Now replace \(-2 + 4\) with \(2\) in the original expression: \[ (4x + 3) + 2 \]

  3. Combine like terms: Now, combine the constant terms: \[ 3 + 2 = 5 \] So, we can rewrite the expression as: \[ 4x + 5 \]

Thus, the final simplified expression is: \[ 4x + 5 \]

That's how you solve the problem!
