How would I rewrite 3(x + 2) in Distibutive property?
distribute the three
3x + 6
3(x + 2)
3x + (3 * 2)
3x + 6

To rewrite 3(x + 2) using the Distributive Property, you need to multiply both terms inside the parentheses by the value outside the parentheses.
In this case, the value outside the parentheses is 3. So, you will distribute the 3 to both x and 2.
To do this, multiply 3 by x and then multiply 3 by 2:
3(x) + 3(2)
This simplifies to:
3x + 6
Therefore, 3(x + 2) can be rewritten as 3x + 6 using the Distributive Property.
