Well first, let's just see how we can simplify the expression we are given. After all, we are trying to find a simple expression equal to this one.


- Apply the Distributive Property

In this case, we can see that we have simplified our expression down to 3x + 2.
It is fair to say that there are no simpler expressions, simply due to the fact that we must have a term with an
, along with a constant.
