Answer 1

10x + 19

Explanation:

The expression 2(5x + 6) can be simplified to 10x + 12, and when that is combined with 7, the result is 10x + 19.

Answer 2

Answer: First, distribute the 2 to the parentheses:

2 * 5x + 2 * 6 + 7 = 10x + 12 + 7

Next, combine like terms:

10x + 12 + 7 = 10x + 19

So the result is 10x + 19.
