Answer:  Distributive Property

Explanation:

The distributive property is [tex]a(b+c) = ab+ac[/tex]

We multiply the outer term 'a' by each term inside the parenthesis.

In the example of 3(x+2), we multiply the outer term 3 with each term inside the parenthesis.

  • 3 times x = 3x
  • 3 times 2 = 6

That's how we go from 3(x+2) to 3x+6

Another way to think of it is to think of 3(x+2) as three copies of (x+2) being added. So,

(x+2)+(x+2)+(x+2) = (x+x+x) + (2+2+2) = 3x+6

The distribution rule is the shortcut of repeated addition like this.

[tex]\large\textsf{3(x + 2)}\\\large\textsf{= 3(x) + 3(2)}\\\large\textsf{= 3x + 6}[/tex]

[tex]\huge\text{Thus, your answer is: \boxed{\textsf{Distributive Property}}}\huge\checkmark\\\\\large\text{Reason: because you're basically DISTRIBUTING 3 within the}\\\large\text{parentheses.}[/tex]
