Question

How do you simplify `6d+4(3d+5)`?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

First, expand the terms in parenthesis by multiplying each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

`6d + color(red)(4)(3d + 5) -> 6d + (color(red)(4) xx 3d) + (color(red)(4) xx 5) -> 6d + 12d + 20`

Now, combine like terms:

`6d + 12d + 20 -> (6 + 12)d + 20 -> 18d + 20`
