Answer 1

Hello :)

`\cal{ANSWER:}`

10x + 15

`\cal{STEP-BY-STEP~EXPLANATION:}`

Our task is to simplify 5(2x + 3).

To simplify it, I'll distribute 5 to 2x + 3:

`\sf{5(2x+3)=5*2x+5*3=\boxed{\sf{10x+15}}`

Answer 2

10x+15

Explanation:

To simplify this expression, we can distribute the 5 among the numbers within the parenthesis:

5(2x+3)

=(5·2x)+(5·3)

=10x+15

So, our final answer is 10x+15.

Hope this helps! :)
