Question

How do I simplify 2(y+6)+3y??

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{5y+12}$

Start by distributing the $2$ to the $(y-6)$. $2(y)+2(6)+3y$

Simplify a little bit using multiplication. $2y+12+3y$

Combine the like terms. $\boxed{5y+12}$

Answer 2

2(y+6)+3y

Multiply the bracket by 2

(2)(y)=2y

(2)(6)=12

2y+12+3y

2y+3y+12 ( combine like terms)

Answer: 5y+12
