Answer:

5·10 + 5·12

Explanation:

The distributive property of multiplication over addition says the factor outside parentheses can be applied to each of the terms inside parentheses:

5(10 + 12) = 5·10 + 5·12

___

Of course, this can be simplified further if you like, to 50+60 = 110. But we already knew the value of the expression is 5·22 = 110.
