Answer:

6x+4xy

Solution:

  • Use the Distributive Property and distribute 2x:
  • 2x(3+2y)
  • 6x+4xy
  • So we multiply 2x times 3 and 2y.

Hope it helps.

Answer:


  • \boxed{\sf{B. \quad 6x+4xy}}

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first, all you have to do is use the distributive property.

Distributive property:


\Longrightarrow: \sf{A(B+C)=AB+AC}


\sf{2x(3+2y)}

Multiply.


\sf{2x*3+2x*2y}

Solve.


\sf{2x*3=6x}\\\\\sf{2x*2y=4xy}

Rewrite the problem down.


\Longrightarrow:\boxed{\sf{=6x+4xy}}

  • Therefore, the correct answer is B. 6x+4xy.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
