Given information-

The given expression in the problem is,

[tex]2 (a+ 2 b)-a-2b[/tex]

Let the expression which is equal to the given expression is [tex]f(a,b)[/tex]. Thus,

[tex]f(a,b)=2 (a+ 2 b)-a-2b[/tex]

In the above expression the term inside the bracket is in multiple with the number two.

Thus open the bracket by multiplying each term inside the bracket with number 2 as,

[tex]f(a,b)=2\times a+ 2\times2 b-a-2b\\f(a,b)=2a+4b-a-2b[/tex]

In the algebraic expression the term with same coefficient or variable added or subtract from each other.

In the above expression the solve the term a and b separately as,

[tex]f(a,b)=2a-a+4b-2b\\f(a,b)=a+2b[/tex]

Thus the expression is equivalent to given expression and gives the same result as the given expression is [tex]a+2b[/tex].
