Javier creates a rectangular painting. the painting is 3feet long and more than 2 feet wide. the expressions 3(2+x) represents the area of the painting. write an expression equivalent to 3(2+x)

2(3+x) because it is asking for an equivalent expression. So just do the Communitive Property of Multiplication. Since you can change around the around for multiplication, it would be 2(3+x) since it will equal the same thing.
