3(f+4)+2f Rewrite this expression without parentheses
3f + 12 + 2f = 5f + 12
12 (2x-7)
To rewrite the expression 3(f+4)+2f without using parentheses, you need to simplify the expression by distributing the numbers outside of the parentheses to the terms inside.
Let's start by distributing the 3 to both terms within the parentheses (f + 4):
3(f+4) = 3 * f + 3 * 4 = 3f + 12
Now, the expression becomes:
3f + 12 + 2f
Since both terms have the same variable (f), you can combine them by adding their coefficients:
3f + 2f = 5f
So the final expression without parentheses is:
5f + 12
