To simplify the expression 5x + 2(x + 6), we can use the distributive property of multiplication over addition.
First, distribute the factor 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
2(x + 6) becomes 2 * x + 2 * 6.
Now, simplify each term:
2 * x is 2x,
2 * 6 is 12.
So, after distributing, the expression becomes:
5x + 2x + 12.
Next, combine like terms by adding the coefficients of the x terms:
5x + 2x is equal to 7x.
Therefore, the final simplified expression is:
7x + 12.
