Answer: " 1035 " .

______________________________________________

→ " F(10) = 1035 " .

______________________________________________

Explanation:

______________________________________________

To solve:

For the "right-hand side" of the equation; substitute "10" for all "x" values:

Given:

F(10) = 5(x - 1)(2x + 3) ;

→ F(10) = 5(10-1)(2*10 + 3) ;

______________________________________________

How, to simplify the right-hand side of the equation;

Solve using PE MD AS ; the mnemonic device for the order of operations to use for simplifying an expression:

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally [or: Susan—either name is fine] :

or the variant:

______________________________________________

Be Excused, My Dear Aunt Sally/Susan .

______________________________________________

in which the letters of the first words of the sentence in this mnemonic device represent the order of operations performed, as follows:

______________________________________________

(Parentheses, followed by Exponents); if these occur; in that order;

or: using the variant:

{Brackets, followed by Exponents}; if these occur, in that order;

— in which "Parentheses" are considered a type of "Brackets" ;

— and in which if both : Brackets and Parentheses occur,

the "Brackets", take first in the order of operations

[if they occur]; followed by: "Parentheses" ;

and then followed by: "Exponents" (if they occur);

_________________________________________

then: Multiplication (if it occurs) and Division (if it occurs);

However, instead of "Multiplication followed by Division" ;

the difference is that these operations are performed from left to rightas they appear (if both Multiplication and Division occur) within the expression ;

______________________________________________

then: Addition (if it occurs) and Subtraction (if it occurs);

However, instead of "Addition followed by Subtraction" ;

the difference is that these operations are performed from left to rightas they appear (if both Addition and Subtraction occur) within the expression.

______________________________________________

So:

Given:

F(10) = 5(x - 1)(2x + 3) ;

→ F(10) = 5(10-1)(2*10 + 3) ;

We can calculate—and simplify—the "right-hand side" of the equation; as follows:

We have:

→ " 5(10-1)(2*10 + 3) " ;

→ that is; " 5 * (10 - 1) * (2*10 + 3) ;

______________________________________________

We do have "parentheses" in this expression:

We shall begin by simplifying the values within the two (2) terms that are enclosed within parentheses:

Start with:

" (10 - 1) " ;

10 - 1 = 9 .

______________________________________________

Now, let us continue with the second term that is in parentheses:

" (2*10 +3 ) " ;

→ 2*10 + 3 = ?? ;

→ Note the order of operations rules—{as stated above]; state that "multiplication/division" come before "addition/subtraction" ;

→ So: " 2*10 + 3 = (2*10) + 3 = 20 + 3 = 23 .

On "the right-hand side" of the given equation; we have:

→ " 5 * (10 - 1) * (2*10 + 3) ;

Replace the terms: "(10 - 1)" with: "9" ;

"(2*10 + 3)" with: "23" ;

And rewrite:

→ F(10) = 5 * 9 * 23 ;

= 45 * 23 ;

= 1035 .

______________________________________________

The answer is: 1035 .

Hope this is helpful to you.

Best wishes!
