What two statements are correct when simplifying this expression?
12 + 6(3x − 2)
To simplify the expression 12 + 6(3x − 2):
Statement 1: Distributive property can be used to eliminate the parentheses.
This is correct because you can distribute 6 to both terms inside the parentheses:
12 + 6 * 3x - 6 * 2 = 12 + 18x - 12
Statement 2: Combining like terms can be done to simplify further.
This is correct because you can combine the constant terms -12 and 12:
12 + 18x - 12 = 18x
Therefore, the correct statements when simplifying this expression are:
1) Distributive property can be used to eliminate the parentheses.
2) Combining like terms can be done to simplify further.
Which two statements are correct when simplifying this expression?
12 + 6(3x − 2)
A First, calculate 6(3x − 2)
B First, calculate 12 + 6.
C 12 + 6(3x − 2) = 54x − 36
D 12 + 6(3x − 2) = 18x
E 12 + 6(3x − 2) = 18x − 24
The two correct statements when simplifying the expression 12 + 6(3x − 2) are:
A) First, calculate 6(3x − 2)
E) 12 + 6(3x − 2) = 18x − 24
Use the distributive property to expand the linear expression.
3(4x + 3)
To expand the expression 3(4x + 3) using the distributive property, we multiply 3 by each term inside the parentheses:
3(4x + 3) = 3 * 4x + 3 * 3 = 12x + 9
Therefore, the expanded form of the expression 3(4x + 3) is 12x + 9.
