Rewrite the expression 3 x left parenthesis x plus 3 right parenthesis using the Distributive Property.

5 answers

To rewrite the expression \(3(x + 3)\) using the Distributive Property, you multiply 3 by each term inside the parentheses:

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

Simplifying this gives:

\[ 3x + 9 \]

So, the expression \(3(x + 3)\) using the Distributive Property is \(3x + 9\).

no simplify

Sure! If you would like to express \(3(x + 3)\) using the Distributive Property without simplifying, you can simply state:

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

This shows the application of the Distributive Property without further simplification.

you read it wrong it supposed to be 3x (x+3) not 3 multiply (x+3)

Thank you for the clarification! To rewrite the expression \(3x(x + 3)\) using the Distributive Property, you distribute \(3x\) to both terms in the parentheses:

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

This gives:

\[ 3x^2 + 9x \]

So, using the Distributive Property, \(3x(x + 3)\) can be rewritten as \(3x^2 + 9x\).
