Question

Simplify 6(A + 2) + 5A. 23A 12A + 11 11A + 12

Answer 1

I'm assuming the original expression is 6(A+2)+5A

If so, then,

6(A+2) + 5A
6*A+6*2 + 5A ... distribute
6A + 12 + 5A ... multiply
6A + 5A + 12 ... commutative property
11A + 12 ... combine like terms

The original expression simplifies to 11A+12

Answer 2

The simplified form is

`6(A+2)+5A=11A+12`

Explanation:

Given the expression

`6(A+2)+5A`

we have to simplify the above expression

The expression is

`6(A+2) + 5A`

Using distributive property, a.(b+c)=a.b+a.c

`(6.A+6* 2) + 5A`

`(6A + 12) + 5A`

By associative property of addition a+(b+c)=(a=b)+c

`6A+(12+5A)`

Using commutative property i.e a+b=b+a

`(6A + 5A) + 12`

Combining like terms, we get

`11A+12`

which is required simplification
