Which expression is equivalent to 3x +2

?

3 answers

The expression \( 3x + 2 \) can be rewritten in several equivalent forms. Here are a few examples:

  1. Factored form (if applicable): \( 3(x + \frac{2}{3}) \)
  2. Adding and subtracting the same value: \( 3x + 2 = 3x + 1 + 1 = 3x + 1 - (-1) \)

However, unless you have specific criteria for the kind of manipulation or form you need, \( 3x + 2 \) is already in a simple linear form. If you're looking for a different type of manipulation, please clarify, and I can assist further!

what is the answer

A. x+x+x+1+1
B. x+x+1+1+1
C. 3x+6
D. 3+x+2

To find which expression is equivalent to \( 3x + 2 \), let's simplify each option:

A. \( x + x + x + 1 + 1 = 3x + 2 \) (This is equivalent.)

B. \( x + x + 1 + 1 + 1 = 2x + 3 \) (This is not equivalent.)

C. \( 3x + 6 \) (This is not equivalent as it has a different constant.)

D. \( 3 + x + 2 = x + 5 \) (This is not equivalent.)

The correct answer is A. \( x + x + x + 1 + 1 \), as it simplifies to \( 3x + 2 \).
