8(3x+5) + 14
24x + 40 + 14
24x + 54

Answer: In simplest form it is 24x + 54

First you have to distribute the 8 in the parenthesis and then simplify the answer further.

You start with Parentheses using the formula PEMDAS
P=Parentheses first
E=Exponents
M=Multiplying
D=Division
A=Adding
S-Subtracting
---------------------------------
\(8(3x+5)+14\)

\(24x+40+14\)

Now you combine like terms

\(40+14=54\)

\(24x+54\) is your answer
