First go ahead and distribute the 2

(2x-8)

Now distribute the 7.

I think you may have forgotten to add the sign into the (x 2)
If it's adding you'd get (7x+14)
If it's subtracting you'd get (7x-14)

Same thing for between the two expressions. 

Hope you understand

Answer:

9x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given expression is

\(2(x-4)+7(x+2)\)

We need to find the simplified form of the given expression.

Using distributive property, we get

\(2(x)+2(-4)+7(x)+7(2)\)               \([\because a(b+c)=ab+ac]\)

\(2x-8+7x+14\)

Combine like terms.

\((2x+7x)+(-8+14)\)

\(9x+6\)

Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression is 9x+6.
