2/3(6x + 12)simply the expression
My answer is 12x + 24 am i right or wrong
Wrong.
What did you do with the 3?
4x+24 am i right, if not please tell me your answer.
No.
24 is also multiplied by 2/3
To simplify the expression 2/3(6x + 12), you need to distribute the 2/3 to every term inside the parentheses.
Step 1: Distribute the 2/3 to the first term (6x): (2/3) * 6x = 12x/3 = 4x
Step 2: Distribute the 2/3 to the second term (12): (2/3) * 12 = 24/3 = 8
(Note that 12 divided by 3 is 4, and then multiplied by 2, which gives us 8)
Now, the simplified expression is 4x + 8, not 12x + 24.
Therefore, your answer of 12x + 24 is incorrect.
