Question

How many terms will the following expression have once it is simplified?

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's multiply this out and combine like terms:

$3x(x+1)+x\\=3x^2+3x+x\\=3x^2+4x$

So there are 2 terms.

Answer choice B is right.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

$3x(x+1)+x$

Firstly, we will distribute 3x

$a(b+c)=a\times b+a\times c$

we can use this formula

and we get

$3x(x+1)+x=3x\times x+3x\times 1+x$

$3x(x+1)+x=3x^2+3x+x$

now, we can combine like terms

$3x(x+1)+x=3x^2+4x$

we can see that there are two terms after simplifying

so, there are two terms

option-B
