Exercise 77 Page 314

Distribute the 1.5 to the terms inside the parentheses.

1.5x+18

Practice makes perfect
We will begin simplifying by distributing the 1.5 to the terms inside the parentheses.
1.5(x+12)
1.5x+1.5(12)
1.5x+18
Since 1.5x and 18 are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
