What is the product of (3x+5) and (x+4)

For this case we must find the product of [tex](3x + 5) (x + 4)[/tex]
By definition, the distributive property states that:
[tex](a + b) (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd[/tex]
Then, according to the expression we have:
[tex]3x ^ 2 + 12x + 5x + 20 =\\3x ^ 2 + 17x + 20[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]3x ^ 2 + 17x + 20[/tex]
Option C
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is
3x(x + 4) + 5(x + 4) ← distribute both parenthesis
= 3x² + 12x + 5x + 20 ← collect like terms
= 3x² + 17x + 20
