Simplify 2x + x
o 2x2
3x
o 3x²

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   2 • 2 = 4  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  4  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   3 .

     -4    +    -1    =    -5  

     -2    +    -2    =    -4  

     -1    +    -4    =    -5  

     1    +    4    =    5  

     2    +    2    =    4  

     4    +    1    =    5  

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

yes the total will be same because in both of them the expression.is rearranged but their sign remains the same hence it hss just been shuffled
