Simplify (2x+3)x(4x+1)

$(2 x + 3) \cdot x \cdot (4 x + 1)$

Step 1

Apply the distributive property.

$(2 x \cdot x + 3 x) \cdot (4 x + 1)$

Step 2

Multiply $x$ by $x$ by adding the exponents.

Move $x$ .

$(2 (x \cdot x) + 3 x) \cdot (4 x + 1)$

Multiply $x$ by $x$ .

$(2 x^{2} + 3 x) \cdot (4 x + 1)$

Step 3

Expand $(2 x^{2} + 3 x) (4 x + 1)$ using the FOIL Method.

Apply the distributive property.

$2 x^{2} (4 x + 1) + 3 x (4 x + 1)$

Apply the distributive property.

$2 x^{2} (4 x) + 2 x^{2} \cdot 1 + 3 x (4 x + 1)$

Apply the distributive property.

$2 x^{2} (4 x) + 2 x^{2} \cdot 1 + 3 x (4 x) + 3 x \cdot 1$

Step 4

Simplify and combine like terms.

Simplify each term.

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$2 \cdot 4 x^{2} x + 2 x^{2} \cdot 1 + 3 x (4 x) + 3 x \cdot 1$

Multiply $x^{2}$ by $x$ by adding the exponents.

Move $x$ .

$2 \cdot 4 (x \cdot x^{2}) + 2 x^{2} \cdot 1 + 3 x (4 x) + 3 x \cdot 1$

Multiply $x$ by $x^{2}$ .

Raise $x$ to the power of $1$ .

$2 \cdot 4 (x^{1} x^{2}) + 2 x^{2} \cdot 1 + 3 x (4 x) + 3 x \cdot 1$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$2 \cdot 4 x^{1 + 2} + 2 x^{2} \cdot 1 + 3 x (4 x) + 3 x \cdot 1$

Add $1$ and $2$ .

$2 \cdot 4 x^{3} + 2 x^{2} \cdot 1 + 3 x (4 x) + 3 x \cdot 1$

Multiply $2$ by $4$ .

$8 x^{3} + 2 x^{2} \cdot 1 + 3 x (4 x) + 3 x \cdot 1$

Multiply $2$ by $1$ .

$8 x^{3} + 2 x^{2} + 3 x (4 x) + 3 x \cdot 1$

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$8 x^{3} + 2 x^{2} + 3 \cdot 4 x \cdot x + 3 x \cdot 1$

Multiply $x$ by $x$ by adding the exponents.

Move $x$ .

$8 x^{3} + 2 x^{2} + 3 \cdot 4 (x \cdot x) + 3 x \cdot 1$

Multiply $x$ by $x$ .

$8 x^{3} + 2 x^{2} + 3 \cdot 4 x^{2} + 3 x \cdot 1$

Multiply $3$ by $4$ .

$8 x^{3} + 2 x^{2} + 12 x^{2} + 3 x \cdot 1$

Multiply $3$ by $1$ .

$8 x^{3} + 2 x^{2} + 12 x^{2} + 3 x$

Add $2 x^{2}$ and $12 x^{2}$ .

$8 x^{3} + 14 x^{2} + 3 x$
