Answer:
Distributive property
Step-by-step explanation:
see attached for reference
2 (x + 4)
= 2(x) + 2(4)
= 2x + 8
Answer:
Distributive property
Step-by-step explanation:
2 (x + 4) = 2 x + 8
In the equation the distributive property is used as the distributive property distributes a equation by taking common value from the equation.
In the the given equation 2 (x + 4), the 2 is multiplied individually to give 2 x + 8, Which can be reverse back to the previous equation by taking 2 as common from the equation.
The value of x can be find by equating the equation to zero
[tex]2(x+4)=0[/tex]
[tex]2x+8=0[/tex]
[tex]2x= -8[/tex]
[tex]x=[/tex][tex]\frac{-8}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x= -4[/tex]
