simplify the expression and combine like terms.
2(x+1)+8+4x
2(x+1) + 8 + 4x can be simplified and combined by performing the distribution of the 2 on the terms in the parentheses, and then combining the like terms.
First, distribute the 2:
2(x+1) = 2x + 2
Now, the expression becomes:
2x + 2 + 8 + 4x
Next, combine the like terms:
2x + 4x = 6x
The expression simplifies further to:
6x + 2 + 8
Finally, combine the constants:
2 + 8 = 10
The final simplified and combined expression is:
6x + 10
