rewrite the expression 3x (x+3) using the distributive property

1 answer

To rewrite the expression \( 3x(x + 3) \) using the distributive property, you need to distribute \( 3x \) to both terms inside the parentheses:

\[ 3x(x + 3) = 3x \cdot x + 3x \cdot 3 \]

Now, simplify the terms:

\[ 3x^2 + 9x \]

So, the expression \( 3x(x + 3) \) rewritten using the distributive property is:

\[ 3x^2 + 9x \]
