Simplify the expression. 5(x + 10) + x 6x + 15 5x + 15 6x + 50 4x – 50

a 6x + 15

b 5x + 15
c 6x + 50
d 4x - 50

Someone will be glad to check your answer.

ok is it b

can somebody please answer

5(x + 10) + x 6x + 15 5x + 15 6x + 50 4x – 50 ??

took me a while to realize that you just linked the possible answers together, which of course makes no sense

if the question is simplify
5(x + 10) + x
I don't understand why you are having problems

clearly saying "ok is it b " is just a wild guess and it is wrong
Show me your steps how you got b

5(x+10) + x can be solved using the distributive property.

First multiply the 5 times the x =5x
Then multiply the 5 times the 10 = 50

You now have 5x + 50 + x.

Combine like terms (5x and x) to arrive at the correct answer of
6x + 50

To simplify the expression 5(x + 10) + x, we need to apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition. This property states that when a number is multiplied by a sum or difference, we can distribute the multiplication to each term within the parentheses.

In this case, we can distribute the multiplication 5 to both x and 10. This gives us:

5(x) + 5(10) + x

Now, we have:

5x + 50 + x

Next, we combine like terms. We have 5x and x, which are like terms because they both have the variable x. Adding these terms together gives us:

6x

Finally, we add the constant term 50:

6x + 50

So, the simplified expression is 6x + 50.
