Expand the expression
3(x+4)
6(2x+3)
2(7+6x)
To expand an expression, you simply distribute the number outside the parentheses to each term inside the parentheses.
1. Expanding 3(x+4):
Multiply 3 by each term inside the parentheses:
3(x + 4) = 3 * x + 3 * 4
Simplify each term:
= 3x + 12
Therefore, 3(x+4) expands to 3x + 12.
2. Expanding 6(2x+3):
Multiply 6 by each term inside the parentheses:
6(2x + 3) = 6 * 2x + 6 * 3
Simplify each term:
= 12x + 18
Therefore, 6(2x+3) expands to 12x + 18.
3. Expanding 2(7+6x):
Multiply 2 by each term inside the parentheses:
2(7 + 6x) = 2 * 7 + 2 * 6x
Simplify each term:
= 14 + 12x
Therefore, 2(7+6x) expands to 14 + 12x.
