Which is equivalent to the following 4(x-2)
A 4x+2
B 4x+8
C 4x-2
D 4x-8
The correct answer is B) 4x+8.
To simplify 4(x-2), you need to distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses.
4(x-2) = 4 * x - 4 * 2
= 4x - 8
Therefore, the equivalent expression is 4x-8.
To simplify the expression 4(x-2), you need to distribute the 4 to each term inside the parentheses. Therefore, the equivalent expression would be:
4(x-2) = 4*x - 4*2
Simplifying further:
4(x-2) = 4x - 8
So, the correct option is:
D) 4x - 8
To determine the equivalent expression to 4(x-2), we need to simplify it.
We can start by distributing the 4 into the parentheses:
4(x-2) = 4 * x - 4 * 2
Simplifying further:
= 4x - 8
Therefore, the equivalent expression to 4(x-2) is 4x - 8.
So, the correct answer is D) 4x-8.
