Question

Expand and simplify 3(x+2) +2 ( x+5)

Answer 1

5x + 16

Explanation:

3(x+2) +2 ( x+5)

divide the expression into 2 separate ones:

3(x + 2) and 2(x + 5 )

Now for 3( x + 2 ) Multiply 3 with x and 3 with 2. This gives:

3x + 6

Now for 2( x + 5 ) Multiply 2 with x and 2 with 5. This gives:

2x + 10

Now since there is a '+' sign between 3( x + 2 ) and 2( x + 5 ), the expression will be:

3x + 6 + 2x + 10

You can simplify the like terms together:

3x + 2x + 10 + 6

= 5x + 16

Answer 2

`3x + 6 + 2x + 10 \\ = 3x + 2x + 10 + 6 \\ = 6x + 16`
