$\Rightarrow 4 x + 1$ $=>4x+1$

$2 (x - 1) + 2 x + 3$ $2(x-1)+2x+3$

We first distribute the $2$ $2$ into the quantity $x - 1$ $x-1$ :

$2 x - 2 + 2 x + 3$ $2x - 2 +2x+3$

Now, we combine like-terms:

$2 x - 2 + 2 x + 3$ $color(blue)(2x) color(red)(-2) + color(blue)(2x) + color(red)3$

$\Rightarrow 4 x + 1$ $=>4x+1$

How do you simplify 2(x−1)+2x+32( x - 1) + 2x + 3?
