    AskMeHelpDesk has a strong policy on simply giving answers to (probably) homework questions, but we can help.

    First you will use the distributive property:eek:. This means when a number is multiplied by something in parenthesis, you multiply the outside number with each number or variable and combine the answers with the operations inside the parenthesis.
    Ex. 3(2+x)
    3(2+x): 3*2=6
    3(2+x): 3*x=3x
    3(2+x)=6+3x

    Next you will add like terms.
    Ex. 2+5x+3+3x=(2+3)+(5x+3x)=5+8x

    And then you'll have your answer :D
