Hey there!

Question 1

9(3 + c + 4)

DISTRIBUTE 9 WITHIN the PARENTHESES

= 9(3) + 9(c) + 9(4)

= 27 + 9c + 36

COMBINE the LIKE TERMS

= 63 + 9c

= 9c + 63

Therefore, your answer is: 9c + 63

Question 2

6(x + 4) + 1

DISTRIBUTE 6 WITHIN the PARENTHESES

= 6(x) + 6(4) + 1

= 6x + 24 + 1

COMBINE the LIKE TERMS

= 6x + 25

Therefore, your answer is: 6x + 25

Question 3

x + 3 + 5x

CONVERT

= 1x + 3 + 5x

COMBINE the LIKE TERMS

= 6x + 3

Therefore, your answer is: 6x + 3

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
