Question

Which expression is equivalent to 2(3x + 4y + x)?

Answer 1

$\huge\textsf{Hey there!}$

$\large\text{2(3x + 4y + x)}$

$\large\textsf{DISTRIBUTE 2 WITHIN the PARENTHESES}$

$\large\text{2(3x) + 2(4y) + 2(x)}$

$\large\text{2(3x) = \boxed{\bf 6x }}$

$\large\text{6x + 2(4y) + 2(x)}$

$\large\text{2(4y) = \boxed{\bf 8y}}$

$\large\text{6x + 8y + 2(x)}$

$\large\text{2(x) = \boxed{\bf 2x}}$

$\large\text{6x + 8y + 2x}$

$\large\textsf{COMBINE the LIKE TERMS}$

$\large\text{(6x + 2x) + (8y)}$

$\large\text{6x + 2x = \boxed{\bf 8x}}$

$\large\text{8x + 8y}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{Answer: \huge \bf 8x + 8y}}}\huge\checkmark$
