Answer 1

To find the difference between the two expressions \((3x + 4x) + 2x\) and \(3x + (4x + 2x)\), we can simplify both expressions:

1. Simplifying the first expression: \[ (3x + 4x) + 2x = 7x + 2x = 9x \]

2. Simplifying the second expression: \[ 3x + (4x + 2x) = 3x + 6x = 9x \]

Now that both expressions are simplified, we see that they are equal: \[ (3x + 4x) + 2x = 9x \quad \text{and} \quad 3x + (4x + 2x) = 9x \]

Therefore, the difference between the two expressions is: \[ 9x - 9x = 0 \]

The answer is: 0
