To simplify the expression 21(x-4)+2, we first distribute the 21 to both terms inside the parentheses:

21*x - 21*4 + 2

This simplifies to:

21x - 84 + 2

Combining like terms, the expression becomes:

21x - 82

To simplify the expression 21(x-4)+2, we first distribute the 21 to both terms inside the parentheses:

21 * x = 21x
21 * (-4) = -84

So the expression becomes:

21x - 84 + 2

Combining like terms:

21x - 82

Therefore, the simplified expression is 21x - 82.

To simplify the given expression, follow these steps:

Step 1: Remove the unnecessary symbols and format the expression correctly. The expression you provided is:
21(x−4)+2

Step 2: Simplify the parentheses first. Distribute the 21 to both terms inside the parentheses:
21 * x = 21x
21 * (-4) = -84

The simplified expression becomes:
21x - 84 + 2

Step 3: Combine like terms. The -84 and +2 can be added together to give -82:

21x - 82

So, the simplified expression is 21x - 82.
