Whuch of the following expressions is equivalent to the expression below?
4[5x+2-x]
None of the above.
To find the equivalent expression, we need to simplify the expression 4[5x+2-x].
First, we can simplify the term inside the brackets: 5x+2-x.
Combining like terms, we have 5x-x+2, which simplifies to 4x+2.
Next, we multiply the simplified term by 4: 4(4x+2).
Using the distributive property, we multiply 4 by each term inside the parentheses: 16x + 8.
Therefore, the equivalent expression to 4[5x+2-x] is 16x + 8.
