Full solution

Q. Simplify the expression:\newline2(4u)=2(4u) = _____
  1. Apply distributive property: Apply the distributive property of multiplication to 2(4u)2(4u).\newlineDistributive property: a(b+c)=ab+aca(b + c) = ab + ac, but since there is only one term inside the parentheses, it simplifies to a(b)=aba(b) = ab.\newline2(4u)=2×4u2(4u) = 2 \times 4u
  2. Multiply constants: Multiply the constants 22 and 44. \newline2×4=82 \times 4 = 8
  3. Multiply by variable: Now, multiply the result by the variable uu.8×u=8u8 \times u = 8u
