Question B) 2(2x + 6)
4x + 12
Question C) 2x + 2x + 6 + 6
4x + 12
A. The equation 2x+23 is not equivalent to 2x+6. The 2x is already there but the 23 we cannot simplify.
B. This expression 2(2x+6) is the distributive property. If you distribute, it will be 2*2, which is 4. We also multiply 2 and 6, which will get you 12, as the final answer is 4x+12.
C. x+x+x+x+6+6 is equal to 4x+12. If we add the x and the 6 it will be 4x+12. Hope it helped!!!
