QuestionSimplify by combining like terms: 3(4x+5)+23(4x + 5) + 2

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given the expression 3(4x+5)+3(4x+5)+. . We are asked to simplify the expression by combining like terms.
3. We are assuming that all variables and constants are real numbers.

STEP 2

First, we need to distribute the to both terms inside the parentheses.
(4x+5)=4x+5(4x+5) = \cdot4x + \cdot5

STEP 3

Now, we calculate the multiplication.
3 \cdotx +3 \cdot5 =12x +15

STEP 4

Next, we add the2 to the expression.
12x+15+212x +15 +2

STEP 5

Finally, we combine the like terms (the constants15 and2).
12x+15+2=12x+1712x +15 +2 =12x +17So, the simplified expression is 12x+1712x +17.
