Question

Which is a simplified form of the expression 2(2j + 3) – 3j?

A. -j + 3
B. 2j + 3
C. j + 6
D. -j + 6

Answer 1

C) j+6

Explanation:

2(2j+3)-3j

4j+6-3j

4j-3j+6

j+6

Answer 2

2(2j + 3) - 3j First distribute/multiply 2 into (2j + 3)

(2)2j + (2)3 - 3j

4j + 6 - 3j Now combine like terms (terms that have the same variable and power/exponent), which are only 4j and -3j because they have the same variable "j" and power/exponent of 1

j + 6 Your answer is C
