Answer:

Explanation:

2(x + 7) + 3(x + 1)

To simplify, you multiply 2 by the bracket. That is 2 × x + 2 × 7 which is equal to 2x + 14 then you do same for the other bracket. 3 × x + 1 = 3x + 3 now you add them and group like terms. Like this, 2x + 3x + 14 + 3

So our answer is , 5x + 17.

Good luck
