To find the difference between the expressions \( (3x + 4x) + 2x \) and \( 3x + (4x + 2x) \), we can simplify both expressions.
-
For the first expression \( (3x + 4x) + 2x \):
- Simplify \( 3x + 4x \) to get \( 7x \).
- Then, \( 7x + 2x = 9x \).
-
For the second expression \( 3x + (4x + 2x) \):
- Simplify \( 4x + 2x \) to get \( 6x \).
- Then, \( 3x + 6x = 9x \).
Now, both expressions simplify to \( 9x \). Therefore, there is no difference between the two expressions.
The correct response is 0.
