Chapter 3: Problem 68

Apply the distributive property. $$4(x+2)$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The result using the distributive property is \(4x + 8\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify the factor and the terms within parentheses

In this exercise, the factor is 4 and the terms inside the parentheses are x and 2.
02

Apply distributive property

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. Applying this property to our exercise gives us: 4x + 4 * 2.
03

Multiply the factor with each term

4 times x is 4x and 4 times 2 is 8. Therefore, it would become 4x + 8.
