To determine which expression is equivalent to a+b+c(d+2), we can simplify each expression step by step:
1) a+b+cd+c: This expression does not simplify to a+b+c(d+2). It includes an additional term of "c" outside the parentheses.
2) a plus b minus c d plus 2 c: This expression does not simplify to a+b+c(d+2). It includes an additional term of "c" outside the parentheses and subtracts "cd".
3) 2abcd: This expression does not simplify to a+b+c(d+2). It includes "abcd" which is not equivalent to "(d+2)".
4) a+b+cd+2: This expression does not simplify to a+b+c(d+2). It includes an additional term of "2" outside the parentheses.
5) a plus b minus c d minus 2 c: This expression simplifies to a+b+cd+2c. By distributing the "c", we get "cd+2c", which is equivalent to "(d+2)c".
Therefore, the correct expression that is equivalent to a+b+c(d+2) is:
a+b+cd+2c
