Question

What does the things down below mean?

2(x + 3)

Answer 1

2x + 6

Explanation:

You can simplify it by distributing the 2 outside the parthenthesis using the distributive property. Distribute the 2 with the x to get 2x, and distribute the 2 with the 3 to get 6. Together you get 2x + 6.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

2x+6

Explanation:

You would have to work it out like this:

2(x+3)

2 times x and 2 times 3

*This is kinda like a rainbow!*

2 times x is 2x

2 times 3 is 6

so it would be 2x+6
