Simplify the expression and explain each fact.

4 (3x+2) - 2

Well when it is simplified then it close out to 12x+6

because first you distribute the 4 which will be like this: 4*3=12x

4*2=8

if you are asking why is there a 6 well at the end you have a - 2 so subtract 2 from the 8 gets you the 6

so ... Simplified it is 12x+6
