3(10x+2)=color(blue)(30x+6

Explanation:

Simplify:

3(10x+2)

Distribute the 3 across (10x+2) using the distributive property: color(red)a(color(green)b+color(blue)c)=color(red)acolor(green)b+color(red)acolor(blue)c.

color(red)3(color(green)(10x)+color(blue)2)=

(color(red)3*color(green)(10x))+(color(red)3*color(blue)2)=

30x+6
