Question

How do you use the distributive property to simplify `2(x+3)`?

Answer 1

`=6 + 2x`

Explanation:

Distributive property "allows us to get rid of parentheses by bringing a multiplication from outside to inside a parenthesis".

Now let's solve the problem given
`2(3 + x)`
`=(2)(3)+(2)(x)` << That's the distributive property
`=6 + 2x`

I hope this helps!
