Question

Create an expression equivalent to 2 (3x =1) 3x+4 using the least number of terms

Answer 1

`18x^2 + 18x -8`

Explanation:

To use the least number of terms, simplify the expression. To simplify, distribute into the parenthesis and combine like terms.

`2(3x-1)(3x+4) = 2(9x^2-3x+12x-4) = 2(9x^2+9x-4) = 18x^2 + 18x -8`
