Write an equivalent expression for the following:
3(x+2)+2x-1
How do you write a equivalent expression for
3(2x-3)+4(3x+2)
To find an equivalent expression for 3(x+2)+2x-1, we need to simplify or expand the expression.
First, let's distribute the 3 to the terms inside the parentheses:
3(x+2) = 3 * x + 3 * 2 = 3x + 6
Now we can rewrite the expression:
3(x + 2) + 2x - 1 = 3x + 6 + 2x - 1
Next, let's combine the like terms:
3x + 2x = 5x
6 - 1 = 5
The final equivalent expression is:
5x + 5
