Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to 2(x + 3) - 4?
  • Step 1: Start with the expression 2(x + 3) - 4.
  • Step 2: Distribute the 2 to both x and 3 in the parentheses. This means you multiply 2 by x and 2 by 3.
  • Step 3: After distributing, you get 2x + 6.
  • Step 4: Now, take the result from Step 3, which is 2x + 6, and subtract 4 from it.
  • Step 5: To subtract 4, you do 6 - 4, which equals 2.
  • Step 6: Combine the results from Step 4 and Step 5 to get the final expression: 2x + 2.
