3 answers
2x + 6 + 4x + 4
explain
To simplify the expression 2(x + 3) + 4(x + 1), you distribute the 2 and 4 to the terms inside the parentheses:
2(x + 3) = 2x + 6
4(x + 1) = 4x + 4
Combining these results, you get:
2x + 6 + 4x + 4
Now you can combine like terms:
2x + 4x = 6x
6 + 4 = 10
Therefore, the simplified expression is 6x + 10.
2(x + 3) = 2x + 6
4(x + 1) = 4x + 4
Combining these results, you get:
2x + 6 + 4x + 4
Now you can combine like terms:
2x + 4x = 6x
6 + 4 = 10
Therefore, the simplified expression is 6x + 10.
