Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:
`(6)/(5)`x + 6

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:

`(6)/(5)`x + 6
