To add the expressions 4(g - 2) and (g + 2), we need to distribute the 4 to g and -2 in the first expression:
4(g - 2) = 4g - 8
Now we can add the two expressions:
4g - 8 + (g + 2)
To simplify, we combine like terms:
(4g + g) + (-8 + 2)
This gives us:
5g - 6
Therefore, 4(g - 2) + (g + 2) simplifies to 5g - 6.
