a)simplify the expression and explain each step

4(3x+2)-2
b)Factor the expression below
20b-16
help please

a) First do 4*3x = 12x then do 4*2 = 8 after that do 8 -2 = 6. So my answer is 12x + 6 (they said to simplify the expression not to find the answer)

b) First find the GCF of 20 and 16 ,which is 4 then divided 20 and 16 by 4 ,which is 5 and 4. Lastly write it as 4 (5b - 4)

answers:

a =18x
b=4b

a) 4x3 = 12

8- -2 = 6
comes out to 12x+6
for b i dont think you need to explain i just put 4b

@Dr. Miller you're probably a child acting like an adult🙄...anyways why are YOU on this site🧐 plus some people come on here to check their answers and some do come on here to cheat and if they are cheating its none of your business anyways 🥱so learn to mind yours 😗

dear @Trump 2020,

for the record, this is a quiz, the 5.5.7 - Quiz: Writing & Evaluating Algebraic Expressions Quiz Part 2. Mrs. Sue has also very sadly passed on, so if you would like to keep ranting to her that's fine, just know she'll never see it. You also have/had no idea what she was really like in her lifetime, if she was rude or not. And she was not being disrespectful at all, just clarifying that @horse girl should try and solve the question using what she learned from the lesson. And if you are mad at her for not replying to @horse girl later on, she may have not seen it or some other cause; you don't know. I hope this helps you become a little kinder to those around you. I also wish you the best of luck at becoming a teacher, although if you are to become one, you really should learn to use the correct your/you're.

Oh, and before I forget, Biden has my vote.
