3(x plus 4) expanded --> 3x+12
Chat with our AI personalities
You simply multiply the expression on the outside (in this case, 3) by each of the expressions inside the parentheses, and add everything up. In this case, 3x + 3 times 4.
Sure thing, honey. To expand 3(x + 4), you distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses. So, you get 3x + 12. That's all there is to it, darling.
3(x+4) is the same as 3x+12 when the brackets are expanded out
The sum of 3x plus 2 and -4 plus 3 is 3x+1 if the equation is (3x+2)+(-4+3). If they are two separate questions, 3x+2 remains as itself while -4+3=-1.
-3x+14 = -4 -3x = -4-14 -3x = -18 x = 6
4 + 8x
3x + 4 = 16 3x = 16 - 4 x = 12/3 x = 4
