To simplify the expression \(1.5x(3 + 2x)\), we can distribute \(1.5x\) to both terms inside the parentheses:
\[ 1.5x(3) + 1.5x(2x) \]
Now we perform the multiplication:
\[ 1.5x \cdot 3 = 4.5x \]
\[ 1.5x \cdot 2x = 3.0x^2 \]
Combining these results, we get:
\[ 1.5x(3 + 2x) = 4.5x + 3.0x^2 \]
So, the simplified expression is:
\[ 3.0x^2 + 4.5x \]
You can write it as:
\[ 3x^2 + 4.5x \]
if you prefer, but both forms effectively convey the same result.
