Simplify the expression:\newline2(4b)=2(4b) = _____

Full solution

Q. Simplify the expression:\newline2(4b)=2(4b) = _____
  1. Apply distributive property: Apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition to 2(4b)2(4b).
    Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+aca(b + c) = ab + ac
    In this case, there is no addition inside the parentheses, so we simply multiply the 22 outside the parentheses by the 4b4b inside the parentheses.
    2(4b)=2×4b2(4b) = 2 \times 4b
  2. Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication. 2×4b=8b2 \times 4b = 8b
