The expression is simplified to 4(5x + 1)

To simply the expression, we have to take note of PEDMAS which is a mathematical acronym representing the different arithmetic operations in order of their usage in solving mathematical problems.

Now, we have the operation given as;

(6 * 3)x+4+2x

expand the bracket, we have;

(18)x + 4 + 2x

expand the bracket further, we get;

18x + 4 + 2x

collect the like terms, we have;

18x + 2x + 4

add the like terms, we get the expression as;

20x + 4

factorize

4(5x + 1)
