For this case we must indicate an expression equivalent to:


17 (x + 5)

By definition we have that the distributive property establishes that:


a (b + c) = ab + ac

Then, applying the property to the given expression we have:


17 (x + 5) = 17 * x + 17 * 5 = 17x + 85

Thus, an equivalent expression is:


17x + 85

ANswer:


17x + 85
