Math Problem Statement

3(x+5) 2 −3(x+5)+6 simplified and in standard form

Solution

We are given the expression:

3(x+5)3(x+5)+63(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) + 6

Let's simplify step by step:

Step 1: Expand the terms

First, expand both 3(x+5)3(x + 5) and 3(x+5)-3(x + 5):

3(x+5)=3x+153(x + 5) = 3x + 15 3(x+5)=3x15-3(x + 5) = -3x - 15

Now substitute these into the original expression:

(3x+15)(3x+15)+6(3x + 15) - (3x + 15) + 6

Step 2: Combine like terms

Now combine the like terms: 3x+153x15+63x + 15 - 3x - 15 + 6

Notice that 3x3x and 3x-3x cancel each other out, as do 1515 and 15-15. We are left with:

66

Final Answer:

The simplified expression in standard form is:

66
