Jaleel and Lisa are simplifying the expression 2 (x minus 2) + 2 as shown. Jaleel’s Method 2 (x minus 2) + 2 = 2 x minus 4 + 2 = 2 x minus 2 Lisa’s Method 2 (x minus 2) + 2 = 2 x minus 2 + 2 = 2 x Whose method is correct and why? Lisa’s method is correct because 2 (x minus 2) equals 2 x minus 2. Lisa’s method is correct because 2 (x minus 2) equals 2 x. Jaleel is correct because 2 (x minus 2) equals 2 x minus 2. Jaleel is correct because 2 (x minus 2) equals 2 x minus 4.

(D)Jaleel's method is correct because 2(x-2)=2x-4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jaleel and Lisa are simplifying the expression 2(x-2)+2 as shown.

We can see that Jaleel's method is correct because:

2(x-2)=2x-4.

When you expand, you must multiply the term outside by all the terms inside the bracket.

The correct option is D.

the answer would be 7

-362

step-by-step explanation:

(12)(4)+2(12)-34(12)+2(12)-3
