7(x+5)+2(x+3)

1 answer

To simplify the expression \( 7(x+5) + 2(x+3) \), we will distribute the constants into the brackets and then combine like terms.

First, distribute \( 7 \) and \( 2 \):

\[ 7(x+5) = 7x + 35 \]

\[ 2(x+3) = 2x + 6 \]

Now, combine these results:

\[ 7x + 35 + 2x + 6 \]

Now, combine the like terms (\( 7x \) and \( 2x \), as well as \( 35 \) and \( 6 \)):

\[ (7x + 2x) + (35 + 6) = 9x + 41 \]

So, the simplified expression is:

\[ \boxed{9x + 41} \]
