Use the properties of operations to add 4(g - 2) + (g + 2).

Question

A. 5g + 10
B. 5g
C. 5g - 6
D. 5g - 10

Answer 1

First, distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses:

4(g - 2) = 4g - 8

Then, simply add the two terms together:

4g - 8 + g + 2
Combine like terms:
5g - 6

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 5g - 6.
