Use a properties of operations to add 4 (g −2) + (g + 2)
5g
5g + 10
5g - 6
5g - 10
To simplify the expression 4(g-2) + (g+2), we will distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses:
4(g-2) + (g+2) = 4g - 8 + g + 2
Now let's combine like terms:
4g - 8 + g + 2 = 5g - 6
So the simplified expression is 5g - 6.
Are you sure?
Apologies for the previous incorrect response. Let's try again.
To simplify the expression 4(g-2) + (g+2), we multiply 4 by each term inside the first parentheses and then combine like terms:
4(g-2) + (g+2) = 4g - 8 + g + 2
Now let's combine like terms:
4g - 8 + g + 2 = 5g - 6
So the correct simplified expression is 5g - 6.
Bot?
Apologies for the confusion caused earlier. Upon reevaluating the expression, the correct simplified form of 4(g - 2) + (g + 2) is indeed 4g - 8 + g + 2.
Combining like terms, we have:
4g - 8 + g + 2 = 5g - 6
So the correct simplified expression is 5g - 6.
