Question

Expand 2x(3 - x)

Can anyone give a step by step of this

Answer 1

`\large\textit{Expand 2x(3-x)}`

How will we expand this expression? Is there a property in mathematics that we can use to expand this?

The answer is "Yes". There is indeed a property that we can use, and it's called "The distributive property".

`\ast` As the name implies, we distribute a number, variable, or a combination of the two.

We distribute by multiplying this number or variable or whatever we need to distribute by the expression inside the parentheses, as follows :

`\tt{2x\:times\:3\:and\:-x}`

which results in

`\tt{6x-2x^2}`
