Question 4

Expand and simplify the following expressions:

(a) \( 2(x - 3) + 5(x + 8)\) (b) \( 4(x - 7) + 2(x - 4)\) (c) \( 3(2x + 3) + 7(x - 2)\)
(d) \( 5(3x - 1) + 3(4x - 5)\) (e) \( 8(x + 2) - 4(x + 1)\) (f) \( 3(x + 2) - 2(x - 8)\)
(g) \( 6(x - 4) - 3(2x - 5)\) (h) \( 3(4x - 3) - 7(3x - 8)\) (i) \( 2(8x + 5) - (2x - 3)\)
(j) \( 4(5x - 3) + 3(9x - 2)\) (k) \( 2(x - 5) + (3x - 2) + 4(7x - 1)\)
