The expression \( 3x + 2 \) can be rewritten in several equivalent forms. Here are a few examples:
- Factored form (if applicable): \( 3(x + \frac{2}{3}) \)
- 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!
