Use the properties of operations to add 4 (g-2)+(g+2)
To add the given expression, we can use the distributive property by multiplying 4 by each term within the parentheses:
4(g-2) + 4(g+2)
This results in:
4g - 8 + 4g + 8
Next, we can combine like terms, which in this case are the terms with "g" and the constant terms:
(4g + 4g) + (-8 + 8)
Combining like terms, we get:
8g + 0
Finally, any term plus zero is equal to the original term, so the simplified expression is:
8g
To add 4 to (g-2)+(g+2), we can distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses using the distributive property.
First, distribute the 4 to (g-2):
4 * g = 4g
4 * (-2) = -8
Now distribute the 4 to (g+2):
4 * g = 4g
4 * 2 = 8
So, the expression becomes:
(4g - 8) + (4g + 8)
Next, we can combine like terms by adding the coefficients of the variable g:
4g + 4g = 8g
Now, let's combine the constants:
-8 + 8 = 0
Thus, the final expression is:
8g + 0
And since adding 0 does not change the value, the simplified expression is:
8g
To add the expressions (4(g-2)) and (g+2), we can use the distributive property of multiplication over addition. According to this property, multiplying a number by a sum is the same as multiplying the number by each term inside the parentheses and then adding the results.
Let's break down the expression step by step:
First, distribute the 4 to the terms inside the parentheses:
4(g-2) = 4*g - 4*2
This simplifies to:
4g - 8
Now, let's combine this result with the other expression, (g+2):
(4g - 8) + (g + 2)
To simplify this, we can combine the like terms, which means adding or subtracting the coefficients of similar variables:
4g + g = 5g
-8 + 2 = -6
Therefore, the final simplified expression is:
5g - 6
