To simplify the expression \( 4(g - 2) + (g + 2) \), we can follow these steps using the properties of operations:
1. **Distribute** \( 4 \) into the first term:
\[
4(g - 2) = 4g - 8
\]
2. **Rewrite the expression**:
\[
4(g - 2) + (g + 2) = (4g - 8) + (g + 2)
\]
3. **Combine like terms**:
- Combine \( 4g \) and \( g \):
\[
4g + g = 5g
\]
- Combine constants \( -8 \) and \( 2 \):
\[
-8 + 2 = -6
\]
4. **Put it all together**:
\[
5g - 6
\]
Thus, the simplified expression is \( 5g - 6 \).
