4f+4f +4g

Answer 1

8f+4g

4(2f+g)

4f+4f+4g

Answer 2

Answer:

2f(4 + 2g), 8f + 4g, 4(2f + g), and 4f + 4f + 4g are equivalent to 2(4f + 2g)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can figure this out by expanding (distributing) 2(4f + 2g):

2(4f + 2g) = 8f + 4g

Now, you can look at the answer choices and see which are equivalent:

8f + 2g ≠ 8f + 4g

2f(4 + 2g) = 8f + 4g = 8f + 4g

8f + 4g = 8f + 4g

4(2f + g) = 8f + 4g = 8f + 4g

4f + 4f + 4g = 8f + 4g = 8f + 4g
