4+9c+3(c+2)
4+9c+3(c+2)
4 + 9c + 3c + 6
10 + 12c
can you please explain this..
I combined followed PEMDAS and combined like terms.
after i looked at it a couple times i figured it out how you did it thank you(:
You're welcome. :-)
To solve the expression 4 + 9c + 3(c + 2), you need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication & Division, Addition & Subtraction).
First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
c + 2
Since there is no like terms or operations to perform within this parentheses, we can leave it as it is.
Now, let's distribute the 3 to c + 2:
3(c + 2) = 3c + 6
The expression now becomes 4 + 9c + 3c + 6.
Next, combine the like terms:
9c + 3c = 12c
Now, we have:
4 + 12c + 6
Combine the constant terms:
4 + 6 = 10
Finally, combine the terms with 'c':
10 + 12c
So, the simplified form of the expression 4 + 9c + 3(c + 2) is 10 + 12c.
