Answer: 3(x + 2)
Explanation:
the expression
[tex]3x+6[/tex]can be simplified, using the common factor. The common factor in the terms 3x an 6 is 3.
because 3*x=3 and
3*2=6.
So we can represent the expression as:
[tex]3\cdot x+3\cdot2[/tex]And now we factor the 3 out in a parenthesis:
[tex]3(x+2)[/tex]This is the simplest form of 3x+6.
