Question

Which expression is equivalent to the following expression? 2(x + 7)

a. 2x + 7

b. 2x + 9

c. 2x + 14

d. x + 14

Answer 1

I believe the answer is (C) 2x+14.

You have to distribute the 2 and multiply it to the x and the 14.

Explanation:

Multiply the x by the 2 to get 2x

multiply the 7 by the 2 to get 14

so the equation is: 2x + 14

I hope this is correct.

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

Use distributive property. distribute the 2 into both numbers by multiplying them both by 2 and you get 2x + 14
