To rewrite the expression \( 2(x + 1)(x + 2) \), we first expand the product inside the parentheses and then distribute.
-
Start with the inner expression: \[ (x + 1)(x + 2) = x^2 + 2x + x + 2 = x^2 + 3x + 2 \]
-
Now multiply by 2: \[ 2(x^2 + 3x + 2) = 2x^2 + 6x + 4 \]
Thus, the expression \( 2(x + 1)(x + 2) \) simplifies to:
\[ \boxed{2x^2 + 6x + 4} \]
