Question

Which is a simplified form of the expression 2(2j + 3) – 3j? A. -j + 3 B. 2j + 3 C. j + 6 D. -j + 6

Answer 1

Answer:

C. j + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2j + 3) - 3j

multiply each term in the parentheses by 2

2 x 2j + 2 x 3

calculate the product

4j + 6 -3j

collect like terms by subtracting their coefficients

(4 - 3)j

then subtract the numbers

1j

when the term has a coefficient of 1, it doesn't have to be written

j

then plug in the other number and that's your answer

j + 6
