$$ \begin{aligned}3(x+h)& \xlongequal{ \color{blue}{ \text{\normalsize{ \htmlClass{explanationCircle explanationCircle1}{\textcircled {1}} } }}}3x+3h \xlongequal{ } \\[1 em] & \xlongequal{ \color{blue}{ \text{\normalsize{ \htmlClass{explanationCircle explanationCircle2}{\textcircled {2}} } }}}3h+3x\end{aligned} $$ | |
① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{3} $ by $ \left( x+h\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{3} \cdot \left( x+h\right) = 3x+3h $$ |
② | Combine like terms: $$ 3h+3x = 3h+3x $$ |
