How to distribute like terms

Alright, for 10, let's see 2(x+3). Use the distributive property to multiply 2 with x, which is 2x. Then, multiply 2 with 3, which is 6. Add them together to get 2x+6. For the second part, 4 times x is 4x and 4 times negative 2 is -8. Add them all up and you get 2x+6+4x-8=6x-2. Remember that you can't add a variable with other variables/just numbers, and a minus sign in front of terms in parenthesis means that everything in the parenthesis is negative!
