Answer:

Option D: 2 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

2(x + 1) = 2x + ______

For balancing the equation, the variables and constants must be same on both sides of the equation.

Simplifying 2(x+1) gives us 2x+2

As 2x is already there, we will add 2 with it in the equation.

Hence,

Option D: 2 is the correct answer.
