What is the expression 4+8(3×=2)-7x when simplified? Apply the order of operations and the commutative and the distributive properties.
To simplify the expression, let's follow the order of operations:
1. First, we simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
3 × 2 = 6
So now the expression becomes: 4 + 8(6) - 7x
2. Next, we simplify the expression inside the brackets:
8(6) = 48
So now the expression becomes: 4 + 48 - 7x
3. Finally, we simplify the remaining expression by performing addition and subtraction in order from left to right:
4 + 48 = 52
So the final simplified expression is: 52 - 7x.
