Question

Simplify 2(x - 3) + 7(x + 2). 9x - 8 9x + 3 9x + 8

Answer 1

The answer is 9x+8. if you distripute the 2, you get 2x-6. if you distribute the 7, you get 7x+14. then you combine like terms ans get 9x+8

Answer 2

2(x-3)+7(x+2) now you time 2*x which you will get 2x, then you will times 2*-3 which is -6, now you times 7by x and you get 7x and times 7by 2 and you get 14 it should look like this

2x-6+7x+14 and then you add 2x+7x which is 9x then 14+-6 that is 8 it should look like this

9x+8
