A facility manager is ordering supplies for two identical maintenance kits. Each kit contains $x$ safety vests and $3rolls of industrial tape. The total number of items needed is represented by the expression{}2(x + 3)$. Using the distributive property, which of the following is the simplified form of this expression?

A contractor is supervising 2 separate construction crews. Each crew consists of $x$ general laborers and 3 skilled carpenters, meaning the total number of workers can be represented by the expression ${}2(x + 3)$. True or False: Applying the distributive property to correctly simplify this expression results in ${}2x + 3$ workers.

An office manager is organizing 2 sets of safety kits. Each kit contains $x$ high-visibility vests and 3 first-aid packs. The total number of items is represented by the expression ${}2(x + 3)$. To find the total item count, match each component of the distributive property process with its correct mathematical result.

A project coordinator is doubling an order for a worksite. Each set contains $x$ solar panels and 3 battery packs, which can be represented by the expression ${}2(x + 3)$. Arrange the following steps in the correct order to simplify this expression by distributing the multiplier to each term inside the parentheses.

An inventory manager is auditing 2 identical supply closets. Each closet holds $x$ boxes of printer paper and 3 toner cartridges. The total number of items is represented by the expression ${}2(x + 3)$. When applying the distributive property to simplify this expression, you must multiply the outside factor 2 by each term inside the parentheses. The result is ${}2x$ boxes of printer paper and ____ toner cartridges.
