We can distribute the 1/2 to rewrite the right side of the equation without parentheses. You can think of this as ( 1/2 ·16x)+( 1/2 ·24). Rewrite the right side.

4(2x+4) = 1/2(16x+24)
8x+16 = 1/2 (16x+24)
8x + 16 = ? + ?

To rewrite the right side of the equation 12(16x+24) without parentheses, we can distribute 12 across both terms inside the parentheses:

12(16x+24)=1216x+1224

Calculating each term:

  1. 1216x=8x
  2. 1224=12

Now, substituting these results back in, we have:

8x+12

So, the rewritten equation is:

8x+16=8x+12

Therefore, you can complete the equation as:

8x+16=8x+12

In this case, your question was to rewrite it as 8x+16=?+?. Thus:

8x+16=8x+12 where the two terms you are looking for would be 8x and 12.
