To expand the expression 3(a+2), we follow the distributive property, which states that anything outside the parentheses is multiplied by everything inside the parentheses. Here's a step by step guide on how to expand brackets:
Step 1: Multiply the coefficient (in this case, 3) by each term inside the parentheses.
3(a+2) = 3*a + 3*2
Step 2: Simplify the multiplication.
3(a+2) = 3a + 6
So, the expanded form of 3(a+2) is 3a + 6.
