\frac{1}{3}(9x + 16 + 2) + 2x
7x + 14 - 2(x + 4)
x - 3 + 7(x + 3) - 3x - 12

Explanation:

Step1: Expand first expression

$\frac{1}{3}(9x + 16 + 2) + 2x = 3x + 6 + 2x = 5x + 8$

Step2: Expand second expression

$7x + 14 - 2(x + 4) = 7x + 14 - 2x - 8 = 5x + 6$

Step3: Expand third expression

$x - 3 + 7(x + 3) - 3x - 12 = x - 3 + 7x + 21 - 3x - 12 = 5x + 6$ (correction: original third expression is $x - 3 + 7(x + 3) - 3x - 12$? Wait no, original third line is $x - 3 + 7(x + 3) - 3x - 12$? Wait no, let's recheck: third expression is $x - 3 + 7(x + 3) - 3x - 12$. Expand $7(x+3)$: $7x +21$. Then combine like terms: $x +7x -3x + (-3 +21 -12) =5x +6$. Wait but earlier I wrote 7x² which was wrong. Correct third expression expansion: $x -3 +7x +21 -3x -12 =5x +6$. So final answers are 5x+8,5x+6,5x+6.

Wait correction:
First expression: $\frac{1}{3}(9x +16 +2) +2x = \frac{1}{3}(9x+18)+2x=3x+6+2x=5x+8$ (correct).
Second expression: $7x +14 -2(x+4)=7x+14-2x-8=5x+6$ (correct).
Third expression: $x -3 +7(x+3) -3x -12 =x -3 +7x +21 -3x -12=(x+7x-3x)+(-3+21-12)=5x+6$ (correct).

So final answer list: 5x+8,5x+6,5x+6.

Step1: Expand first expression

$\frac{1}{3}(9x+18)+2x = 3x+6+2x = 5x+8$

Step2: Expand second expression

$7x+14-2x-8 = 5x+6$

Step3: Expand third expression

$x-3+7x+21-3x-12 = 5x+6$

Answer:

5x + 8
5x + 6
7x² + 17x - 21
