Question

If you expand and simplify (2x+3)(x+4)

Answer 1

`(2x + 3)(x + 4) \\ = 2x(x + 4) + 3(x + 4) \\ = 2x * x + 2x * 4 + 3 * x + 3 * 4 \\ = {2x}^(2) + 8x + 3x + 12 \\ = {2x}^(2) + 11x + 12 \\ hope \: it \: helps`

Answer 2

The answer is 2x² + 11x + 12.

Explanation:

You have apply Distributive Law,

`a(m + n) = am + an`

So for this question :

`(2x + 3)(x + 4)`

`= 2x(x) + 2x(4) + 3(x) + 3(4)`

`= 2 {x}^(2) + 8x + 3x + 12`

`= 2 {x}^(2) + 11x + 12`
