The answer you’re looking for is: simplify.
When you rewrite an expression, we are simplifying it. We first use the distributive property through any groupings symbols, then evaluate terms we exponent that are given. Lastly, we combine any like terms, weather they are constants or variables.
Hope this helps! :)
2(3)(2) + 2(4)(3) + 2(4)(2)
2(6) + 2(12) + 2(8)
12 + 24 + 16
52
Hope this helps!
I believe that x=9. I used cross multiplication. First, I multiplied 6 by 15. Second, I divided this product of 90 by 10. The quotient is 9.
