Use the Distributive Property and simplify the expression. 6+4 (3x - 2) + 5

a. 12x+9

b. 12x+3

c. 7x+9

d. 3x+13

First, we need to use the distributive property to simplify the expression. So, that means we have to multiply the 4 by all of the integers and variables inside the parentheses.

If done correctly, your expression should be 6+12x-8+5

Next, we should combine all of the constant terms (just numbers without variables), also known as combining like terms.

If done correctly, your expression should be 12x+3.

This matches answer B. 12x+3
