$2 x + 12$ $2x+12$

Explanation:

Each of the terms inside the bracket are multiplied by the 2.

$\Rightarrow 2 (x + 6)$ $rArrcolor(red)(2)(x+6)$

$= (2 \times x) + (2 \times 6)$ $=(color(red)(2)xx x)+(color(red)(2)xx6)$

$= 2 x + 12$ $=2x+12$

$2 x + 12$ $2x+12$

Explanation:

Use the distributive property

$2 (x + 6) = 2 (x) + 2 (6) = 2 x + 12$ $color(green)2(color(red)xcolor(orange)+color(blue)6)=color(green)2(color(red)x)color(orange)+color(green)2(color(blue)6)=2x+12$
