Answer 1

6(x + 3)

Explanation:

Add 3:

x + 3

Times 6:

6(x + 3)

Answer 2

6(x + 3), or expanded: 6x + 18

Explanation:

We start with x.

"Add 3" means + 3, so we have: x + 3

"Then times by 6" means multiply by 6, or * 6, so we have 6 * (x + 3)

Thus the expression is 6(x + 3), or expanded: 6x + 18
