Problem 86
Question
Simplify each algebraic expression. $$2(5 x+4)-3$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The simplified form of the given algebraic expression is \(10x + 5\).
1Step 1: Apply Distributive Property
Multiply 2 with each term inside the parentheses. This gives: \(2 * 5x + 2 * 4\). Simplify this to get: \(10x + 8\).
2Step 2: Subtract 3
Now, subtract 3 from the result obtained in the previous step. This gives \(10x + 8 -3\). Simplify this to get \(10x + 5\).
