What is the simplified form of the expression 4x + (4x + 8) + (2x + 6)?

The correct answer is: 14x

In this expression, we have multiple terms with the variable x. To simplify the expression, we need to combine like terms, or terms with the same variable. The first and second terms, 4x and 4x, can be combined to give 8x. Similarly, the third and fourth terms, 2x and 6, can be combined to give 8. So, the full expression becomes 8x + 8 + 8, which can be further simplified to 16x + 8. The simplified form of this expression is 16x + 8, which is equivalently written as (8 * 2x) + 8. Therefore, the correct simplified form is equivalent to having a total of 2x + 8, or 14x, which is option A. The other options, B, C, and D,
