To simplify (3x \cdot 2x), you multiply the coefficients (3 and 2) and the variables (x and x). This results in (3 \cdot 2 \cdot x \cdot x = 6x^2). Therefore, the simplest form of (3x \cdot 2x) is (6x^2).
3x(2x + 1) over (2x - 1)(2x + 1) Cancel out the 2x + 1 Answer: 3x/2x - 1
2x+12-3x = 5 2x-3x = 5-12 x = -7
2x-3x = -1
2x + 3x = 5x
