#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#

#30x+6#

Explanation:

You first multiply #3# and #10x# and then add the product of #3# and #2#. This process is known as factoring.
