Simplify 2 (x - 3) + 7 (x + 2).

9x - 8

9x + 3

9x + 8

The answer is 9x+8. if you distripute the 2, you get 2x-6. if you distribute the 7, you get 7x+14. then you combine like terms ans get 9x+8

2 (x-3) + 7 (x+2) now you time 2*x which you will get 2x, then you will times 2*-3 which is - 6, now you times 7by x and you get 7x and times 7by 2 and you get 14 it should look like this

2x-6+7x+14 and then you add 2x+7x which is 9x then 14+-6 that is 8 it should look like this

9x+8
