Answer:
There are many expressions equivalent to this.
Explanation:
Let's solve the equation.
In the parentheses, you cannot do ×+, so I will assume that × is meant to be a variable, x.
You can use distributive property to solve this.
3(2x + 5)
3 × 2x + 6x
3 × 5 = 15
6x + 15 cannot be done.
So, the answer to the equation is 6x + 15.
An Equivalent Expression
An equivalent expression can be 2(3x + 7.5)
Let's solve it.
2 × 3x = 6x
2 + 7.5 = 15
So, the answer to this equation is 6x + 15.
6x + 15 = 6x + 15.
2(3x + 7.5) = 3(2x + 5)
