Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The expression given is (x+4)(x+4). . We need to use the distributive property to rewrite the expression.
3. The distributive property states that a(b+c)=ab+aca(b + c) = ab + ac for all real numbers a, b, and c.

STEP 2

Apply the distributive property to the expression 2(x+4)2(x+4).
2(x+4)=2timesx+2times42(x+4) =2\\times x +2\\times4

STEP 3

Now, perform the multiplication in the expression.
2timesx+2times=2x+82\\times x +2\\times =2x +8The expression 2(x+)2(x+), when rewritten using the distributive property and simplified, is 2x+82x +8.
