Answer:

8x + 11

Explanation:

3(2x+1)+2(x+4)

distribute the 3 & 2 within the parentheses. first, multiply 3 and 2x, then multiply 3 and 1 to get 6x + 3. next, multiply 2 and x, then multiply 2 and 4 to get 2x + 8. this gives you:

6x + 3 + 2x + 8

then add like terms (6x + 2x and 3 + 8) to get your simplified final answer:

8x + 11
