Given an expression below :


3(x-2)+2x

The expression can be solved by :

Step 1: Opening the bracket


\begin{gathered} 3(x-2)+2x \\ 3x-6+2x \end{gathered}

Step 2: Collect like terms


\begin{gathered} 3x-6+2x \\ 3x+2x-6 \\ 5x-6 \end{gathered}

Therefore the correct answer for the expression is 5x - 6

Hence the correct value is Option D
