8x + 26

multiply the outside number by the inside numbers and add them. remember, if the variable is singular example x, then it equals 1 :) I hope this helps you understand, I'm currently doing algebraic expressions.

Answer:

8x+26

Explanation:

distribute the 5 into the numbers in the parentheses. you get (5x+20) then do the same with 3(x+2) which wll be (3x+6) now add like terms, which are 5x+3x=8x and 20+6=26. boom 8x+26.
