For question 20, the distributive property states that you multiply the number outside the parentheses by each term inside the parentheses.

Given the expression \(2(x + 3)\), let's apply the distributive property:
\[
2(x + 3) = 2 \cdot x + 2 \cdot 3 = 2x + 6
\]

Thus, the correct answer for question 20 is:
\[
\boxed{2(x + 3) = 2x + 6}
\]
