Multiply each term by 3

take $x^2 * 3$ and $2x * 3$ and $6 * 3$
so the answer would be
$3x^2 + 6x +18$

$3x^2 + 6x + 18$

Here's how I did it:

To solve this, we distribute or multiply the $3$ with everything inside the parenthesis:
$3 * x^2 = 3x^2$

$3 * 2x = 6x$

$3 * 6 = 18$

Therefore, we can combine all these expressions and write the product:
$3x^2 + 6x + 18$

Hope this helps!
