Hello!

To solve for #1, you'll need to use the Distributive Property. So you'd want to turn 4(x+5) into 4(x)+4(5). After solving the new equation, you'll get...

4x+20

To solve #2, you'll first need to multiply 4 and 3 together. After that's done, your equation will look like 12-2. All you do now is simple subtraction and your answer is...

10

Recap:

#1: 4x+20

#2: 10

I hope this helps!
In order to solve the first problem,, 4(x + 5),, we need to multiply each term in the parenthesis by 4.
4x + 4 × 5
Now multiply the numbers together.
4x + 20
Since we cannot simplify this expression any further,, our final answer to problem 1 is 4x + 20.
In order to start solving the second problem,, we must first multiply 4 by the number in the parenthesis.
12 - 2
Then subtract the two numbers to find your final answer.
10
This means that the correct answer to question 2 is 10.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
