Given an expression below :
[tex]3(x-2)+2x[/tex]The expression can be solved by :
Step 1: Opening the bracket
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3(x-2)+2x \\ 3x-6+2x \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 2: Collect like terms
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x-6+2x \\ 3x+2x-6 \\ 5x-6 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the correct answer for the expression is 5x - 6
Hence the correct value is Option D
