(Choice C)

C

2(b)+2(3c)2(b)+2(3c)2,

Step-by-step explanation:

Given this expression 2(b+3c), its equivalent expression is derived by simply opening up the bracket as shown below;

Open the parenthesis by multiplying the constant outside the bracket with all the variables in parenthesis.

= 2(b+3c)

=  2(b)+ 2(3c)

= 2b +2*3*c

= 2b +6c

It can also be written as sum of b+3c in 2 places i.e (b+3c)+(b+3c) because multiplying the function b+3c by 2 means we are to add the function by itself in two places.

Hence the equivalent expression are (b+3c)+(b+3c) and 2(b)+2(3c) or 2b+6c
