Verified
Answer
The simplified form of the expression is: \(6x + 11\)
1Step 1: Distribute
Begin by distributing the 6 to every term inside the parenthesis \(x+1\). This means you will multiply 6 by \(x\) and 6 by 1, resulting in: \(5 + 6x + 6\).
2Step 2: Combine Like Terms
You now need to combine 'like terms'. In this case, like terms are the numbers 5 and 6, which can add up together. You add them, which results in: \(6x + 11\)
