First distribute.

4(2a+4) becomes 8a + 16. Since the next set in the brackets is preceded by a + sign. Then you just remove the brackets and don't make a change so you're left with

8a+ 16 + 3a - 2 = now combine "like" terms and you get

11a + 14

4(2a + 4) + (3a − 2)

Distribute 4 to 2a and 4. You get 8a+16.

So 8a+16+3a-2.

Combine like terms to get 11a+14.

Using the distributive property you can multiply the number outside the parenthesis with the numbers inside so it would be:

(8a+16)

and since there's no number outside the other parenthesis it would stay (3a-2)

now you have: (8a+16) + (3a-2)

combine like terms and you get

11a+14

expand brackets first

so it will be 8a+16+3a-2 which will simplify to 11a+14

Distribute

(8a+16)+(3a-2)

add or minus common factors

11a-14 is your answer

(8a+16) + (3a-2)

11a+14

(11a)+(14)
