Using the distributive property, x(2x + 3) can be written as

A2x^2 + 3
B2x^2 + 3x
C2x + 3x
D3x^2 + 2x
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 2x^2 + 3x
1. Multiply x by each term inside the brackets. 2. x × 2x = 2x^2 and x × 3 = 3x, so the result is 2x^2 + 3x. 3. Leaving the 3 alone forgets to multiply it by x. _Source: Wikipedia, Elementary algebra, Simplifying expressions_
