help please
geez, give it a rest.
Sometimes no one happens to be watching when you post, ok?
Now read up on the distributive property...
4(3x+2)-2
4*3x + 4*2 - 2
12x + 8 - 2
12x+6
20b-16
4*5b - 4*4
4(5b-4)
very helpful
is @Steve correct?
this is correct
yes, I am sure.
If you cannot even check for correctness, you are in a world of hurt.
