Step 1.1

Multiply $b$ by $1$ .

$A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (h (b + b \cdot 2))$

Step 1.2

Move $2$ to the left of $b$ .

$A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (h (b + 2 b))$

Step 2

Step 2.1

Add $b$ and $2 b$ .

$A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (h (3 b))$

Step 2.2

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (3 h b)$

Step 3

Step 3.1

Combine $3$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$A = \frac{3}{2} (h b)$

Step 3.2

Combine $h$ and $\frac{3}{2}$ .

$A = \frac{h \cdot 3}{2} b$

Step 3.3

Combine $\frac{h \cdot 3}{2}$ and $b$ .

$A = \frac{h \cdot 3 b}{2}$

Step 4

Move $3$ to the left of $h$ .

$A = \frac{3 h b}{2}$
