Question

2(x+6)+3x+4=
what it equals

Answer 1

5x + 16

Explanation:

First you have to distribute the 2 into the parentheses

2 times x is 2x

2 times 6 is 12

so now the equation is

2x + 12 + 3x + 4

add the 2x and 3x and that is 5

so now the equation is...

5x + 12 + 4

add 12 + 4 and that is 16

so now the answer is

5x + 16
