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

Question

A. 5g.

B. 5g - 10

C. 5g + 10

D. 5g - 6

Answer 1

To add 4(g - 2) + (g + 2), we first distribute the 4 to the terms inside the parentheses:

4(g - 2) + (g + 2) = 4g - 8 + g + 2

Next, we combine like terms:

4g - 8 + g + 2 = 4g + g - 8 + 2

We can simplify the equation further:

4g + g - 8 + 2 = 5g - 6

Therefore, the correct answer is option D, 5g - 6.
