Simplify 8 (A + 2B) + 6 (2A +

b.

We do the distributive property

8*a + 16b + 6*2 + 6*b =

8a+16b + 12a + 6b

Now we need to combine like terms.

16b and 6b are like terms.

16b+6b = 22b

12a and 8a are also like terms.

12a+8a = 20a

Our most simple form is: 20a+22b

Final answer: 20a + 22b

You should first multiply and then sum up the A together and B together : 8 A + 16 B + 12 A + 6 B = 20 A + 22 B : D
