Question

Which expression is equivalent to 12 x + 3 ( x − 2 )

Answer 1

15x - 6

Explanation:

To solve this, Given the expression 12 x + 3 ( x − 2 )

To simplify, expand

12 x + 3 * x −3 * 2

Knowing that

- * + = -

then the expression becomes

= 12 x + 3x - 6

= 15x - 6

The expression given is equivalent to 15x - 6
