Pls help:( algebra 1 btw

17(2 + 12g) + 14

204g+48

Step 1: Rewrite equation

To start off, let’s rewrite the equation to better understand the problem we are working with.

17(2+12g)+14

Step 2: Distribute

In this type of equation, we will not find an exact answer. Rather, we will simplify the equation by distribution and combining like terms. Let’s start by distributing. To do so, multiply the numbers outside of the parentheses with the numbers on the inside of the parentheses. This will be 17•2 and 17•12g. Let’s do so now.

17(2+12g)+14
34+204g+14

Step 3: Combine like terms

As the final step, we need to combine like terms. This means we add/subtract terms that share the same variable, or lack of. In this case, we need to add 34 and 14 together. Let’s do this now.

34+204g+14
204g+48

This is your final answer. 204g+48 is the new equation. Hope this helps! Comment below for more questions.
