Multiplication: Simplify multiplying 2x

To simplify the multiplication of 2x, you’re essentially asking for the distributive property to be applied. When you multiply 2 by x, you get:

2x = 2 * x

The result is simply 2x itself, as there’s no further simplification needed in this case. The distributive property states that a * (b + c) = a * b + a * c, but since there’s only one term (x), there’s no additional multiplication involved.

If you have a more complex expression, such as 2x times another variable or number, please provide that for further simplification.
