Answer:
Explanation:
This expression involves the distributive property. In the distributive property, there is a number followed by an equation in parenthesis.
3(n+6)
To simplify it, you have to multiply the first number by each number in the parenthesis, separately:
3(n+6)
3n + 3(6) or 3xn + 3x6 (same thing)
3n+18
Finally, we can check the other 4 choices to double check.
A. 3n+6 (wrong)
B. 2(n+6) + (n+6)=
2xn + 2x6 + n + 6
2n + 12 + n + 6
combine like terms, or all the terms that are the same. start with the Ns, then the numbers:
2n+n + 12+6
3n+18
C. 2(n+6)+n= 2n+2(6) +n = 2n+12+n= 2n+n+12= 3n+12
D.3n+18
E. 2n+2+n+4= 2n+n+2+4= 3n+6
Answer= B and D
hope this helps :))
