Question

True or False?

4 (x+5) +x = 5x + 20


Please let me know what I did wrong if my answer is incorrect.

Answer 1

If you are asking if 4(x+5) would equal to 5x+20.Your  answer would be false because 4 times x equals 4x and 4 times 5 equals 20. 

Answer 2

To find whether the equation is true or false, just simplify each side to see if both sides are equal.

So if:
4(x+5) + x = 5x + 20
4x + 20 + x = 5x +20
5x + 20 = 5x +20
So the equation is true, because the left hand side is equal to the right hand side.

Hope this helped.
