Which is a simplified form of the expression 2 (2j + 3) - 3j?

A. - j + 3

B. 2j + 3

C. j + 6

D. - j + 6

2 (2j + 3) - 3j First distribute/multiply 2 into (2j + 3)

(2) 2j + (2) 3 - 3j

4j + 6 - 3j Now combine like terms (terms that have the same variable and power/exponent), which are only 4j and - 3j because they have the same variable "j" and power/exponent of 1

j + 6 Your answer is C

C) j+6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (2j+3) - 3j

4j+6-3j

4j-3j+6

j+6
