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 :))
