Given:
The expression is
[tex]2(10)+2(x-4)[/tex]
To find:
The simplified form of the given expression.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]2(10)+2(x-4)[/tex]
Using distributive property, we get
[tex]=20+2(x)+2(-4)[/tex]
[tex]=20+2x+(-8)[/tex]
[tex]=20+2x-8[/tex]
On combining like terms, we get
[tex]=2x+(20-8)[/tex]
[tex]=2x+16[/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is A.
