A.
26x + 72
B.
26x + 8
C.
26x - 72
D.
34x + 72

A. 26x + 72

Step-by-step explanation:

5(6x + 8) + 4(8 - x) = 5 * (6x + 8) + 4 * (8 - x) 5 * (6x + 8) + 4 * (8 - x) = (5*6x + 5*8) + (4*8 -4*x)(5*6x + 5*8) + (4*8 - 4*x) = (30x+40) + (32 - 4x)(30x+40) + (32 - 4x) = 30x+40 + 32 - 4x30x+40 + 32 - 4x = (30x - 4x) + (40 + 32) 26x + 725 * (6x + 8) + 4 * (8 - x)5 * (6x + 8) + 4 * (8 - x)5 * (6x + 8) + 4 * (8 - x)5 * (6x + 8) + 4 * (8 - x)

The answer is 8 apex
