B. 5x + 15
C. 6x + 50
D. 4x – 50
I don't want the answer... I want to know how to do it.
Can someone please help me? I have done all of the quiz besides this question.
Review the distributive propery!
a(b+c) = ab+ac
so,
5(x+10) = 5*x + 5*10
now add x to that
To solve the expression 5(x + 10) + x, we can follow the order of operations or the PEMDAS rule.
PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
First, we solve the expression inside the parentheses.
x + 10 simplifies to x + 10.
Now, we have 5 multiplied by (x + 10), which gives us 5x + 50.
Next, we add x to the resulting expression.
5x + 50 + x simplifies to 6x + 50.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 6x + 50.
