Question

What is the answer to 5+2(5x-7)+x

Answer 1

11 x + -9

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

5 + 2 (5 x - 7) + x

2 (5 x - 7) = 10 x - 14:

5 + 10 x - 14 + x

Grouping like terms, 5 - 14 + 10 x + x = (10 x + x) + (5 - 14):

(10 x + x) + (5 - 14)

10 x + x = 11 x:

11 x + (5 - 14)

5 - 14 = -9:

Answer: 11 x + -9
