Bot simplify 4x + 8x using the properties of operations. Pick one of the following answers. (4x + 8) (4 + 8x) (12x^2) (12x)
The simplified expression is (12x).
Bot is that your final answer?
Yes, the simplified expression is (12x).
To simplify the expression 4x + 8x using the properties of operations, we combine the like terms, which means adding the coefficients of the like terms.
In this case, the like terms are 4x and 8x, as they both have the variable x raised to the power of 1.
To combine the coefficients of these like terms, we add 4 and 8:
4 + 8 = 12
So the simplified form of 4x + 8x is 12x.
Therefore, the correct answer is (12x).
