Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(4(g - 2) + (g + 2)\), we will use the distributive property and combine like terms.

1. Start with the expression:
\[
4(g - 2) + (g + 2)
\]

2. Apply the distributive property to the first term:
\[
4g - 8 + (g + 2)
\]

3. Now, combine like terms (the \(g\) terms and the constant terms):
- Combine \(4g\) and \(g\):
\[
4g + g = 5g
\]
- Combine \(-8\) and \(2\):
\[
-8 + 2 = -6
\]

4. Putting it all together:
\[
5g - 6
\]

Thus, the final answer is:
\[
\boxed{5g - 6}
\]
