Exercise 24 Page 225

40g+24

Practice makes perfect

We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property. We will distribute 8 to the terms inside the parentheses.

\(8(5g+5-2)\)
\(8(5g)+8(5)-8(2)\)
\(40g+40-16\)
\(40g+24\)

Since $40g$ and $13$ are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
