Question

Expland and simplify 2(x+7) 3(x+1)​

Answer 1

6x² + 48x + 42

Explanation:

2(x + 7) 3(x + 1) ← multiply the integers

= 6(x + 7)(x + 1) ← expand factors using FOIL

= 6(x² + 8x + 7) ← distribute parenthesis by 6

= 6x² + 48x + 42

Answer 2

2(x+7) = 2x+14 / 3(x+1) = 3x+3

Explanation:

When you see equations with parenthesis, that means you must do distributive property. So, whatever number is outside of the parenthesis, you multiply it by all the number inside of the parenthsis.
