Question

Expand and simplify completely

`x(x+(1+x)+2x)-3(x^2-x+2)`

Answer 1

x² + 4x - 6

Explanation:

x(x + (1 + x) + 2x) - 3(x² - x + 2) ← simplify parenthesis on left

= x(x + 1 + x + 2x) - 3(x² - x + 2)

= x(4x + 1) - 3(x² - x + 2) ← distribute parenthesis

= 4x² + x - 3x² + 3x- 6 ← collect like terms

= x² + 4x - 6
