Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The provided expression is 3(c+1).

Formula used:

For numbers a, b, and c distributive law of multiplication is as below:

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Calculation:

Consider the expression as below:

3(c+1)

According to the distributive law the product of a number and a sum can be expressed as sum of two products, that is for numbers a, b, and c distributive law is as below

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Use the distributive law to multiply the expression and simplify as below:

3(c+1)=3c+31=3c+3

Hence, the simplified form of the expression 3(c+1) is 3c+3.
