Question

2(3/5x+3). How would I get that answer

Answer 1

Answer: $\frac{6}{5}$x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

       We will use the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS. See attached. Please note that we cannot do what is in the parentheses first because we have a variable, so we will distribute the 2 into it. Since this is an expression, I do not believe we can fully solve for x, but can only simplify.

       Given:

2(3/5x+3)

       Distribute:

2 * (3/5x) + (2 * 3)

6/5x + 6

       Answer:

$\frac{6}{5}$x + 6
