Answer 1

Answer: 3(x + 2)

Explanation:

the expression

$3x+6$

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:

$3\cdot x+3\cdot2$

And now we factor the 3 out in a parenthesis:

$3(x+2)$

This is the simplest form of 3x+6.
