Simplify the algebraic expression: x(x + 3) + x(2x – 4) + 6
You asked:
Simplify the expression: \(x \left(x + 3\right) + x \left(2 x - 4\right) + 6\)
MathBot Answer:
Simplified:
\[ x\left( x + 3 \right) + x\left( 2 x - 4 \right) + 6 = x \left(2 x - 4\right) + x \left(x + 3\right) + 6 \]
$$\begin{aligned}x \left(x + 3\right) + x \left(2 x - 4\right) + 6\\x^{2} + 3 x + x \left(2 x - 4\right) + 6\\x^{2} + 3 x + 2 x^{2} - 4 x + 6\\3 x^{2} - x + 6\end{aligned}$$
Expanded:
\[ x\left( x + 3 \right) + x\left( 2 x - 4 \right) + 6 = 3 x^{2} - x + 6 \]
