Which expression is equivalent to 6b + 3(a+b)?

• 3a (7b)

• 9b + (a+b)

• 3a + 6b

• 3a + 9b

Find the equivalent expression for5(a + 6)

• 5a+6

• 5a+30

• a+30

• 5a-30

Answer explanation

To simplify the expression, distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses: 2(3x) + 2(4) + x = 6x + 8 + x = 7x + 8. Therefore, the correct choice is 7x + 8.

Fill in the blank:
2(x + 7) = 2x + __

• 7

• 14

• 7x

• 14x
