To express the expression \( 2(x+1)(x+2) \) in another form, we can distribute it:
1. First, expand the parentheses \( (x+1)(x+2) \):
\[
(x+1)(x+2) = x^2 + 2x + x + 2 = x^2 + 3x + 2
\]
2. Now, multiply by 2:
\[
2(x^2 + 3x + 2) = 2x^2 + 6x + 4
\]
So, the expression \( 2(x+1)(x+2) \) can be written as \( 2x^2 + 6x + 4 \).
The correct response is:
**2x² + 6x + 4** (2 x squared plus 6 x plus 4).
