Question

Expand and simplify 3(x+2)+2(x-1)

Answer 1

If you would like to expand and simplify 3 * (x + 2) + 2 * (x - 1), you can do this using the following steps:

3 * (x + 2) + 2 * (x - 1) = 3 * x + 3 * 2 + 2 * x - 2 * 1 = 5 * x + 6 - 2 = 5 * x + 4

The correct result would be 5 * x + 4. 

Answer 2

3(x+2) + 2(x-1)
= 3x + 6 +2x -2
answer = 5x + 4
