Answer: 3(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

the expression


3x+6

can be simplified, using the common factor. The common factor in the terms 3x an 6 is 3.

because 3*x=3 and

3*2=6.

So we can represent the expression as:


3\cdot x+3\cdot2

And now we factor the 3 out in a parenthesis:


3(x+2)

This is the simplest form of 3x+6.
