how do i solve this?:(2x+12)x=?
You cannot "solve" this, but you can simplify it. 2x^2+12X
Or you could also factor out the 2.
2x(x+6)
To solve the expression (2x + 12)x, you need to distribute the x to both terms inside the parentheses.
Step 1: Distribute the x
(2x + 12)x = (2x)x + (12)x
Now, you have two terms: (2x)x and (12)x.
Step 2: Simplify each term
(2x)x = 2x^2
(12)x = 12x
Step 3: Combine the simplified terms
2x^2 + 12x
Now you have simplified the expression to 2x^2 + 12x. This is the solution to the given expression.
