Given sum expression: We are given the sum from n=0 to 2 of the expression (3x+3n). This is a finite series where we will substitute the values of n into the expression and add the results together.
Substitute n=0: First, let's substitute n=0 into the expression (3x+3n). This gives us 3x+3(0)=3x+0=3x.
Substitute n=1: Next, we substitute n=1 into the expression (3x+3n). This gives us 3x+3(1)=3x+3=3x+3.
Substitute n=2: Finally, we substitute n=2 into the expression (3x+3n). This gives us 3x+3(2)=3x+6=3x+6.
Add results: Now we add the results of the substitutions together: 3x + 3x+3 + 3x+6.
Combine like terms: Combining like terms, we get 3x+3x+3x+3+6=9x+9.
