Apply Distributive Property: We need to simplify the expression by applying the distributive property, which states that a(b+c)=ab+ac. In this case, we have a multiplication of a constant and a variable inside the parentheses. The expression is 2(2d), which means we need to multiply 2 by 2d.Calculation: 2×2d=4d
Perform Multiplication: Now that we have simplified the expression by multiplying the constants, we check for any additional simplification. Since there are no like terms to combine or any other operations to perform, the expression is fully simplified.
