Answer:

12

Explanation:

assuming you wish to evaluate the expression.

substitute x = 5 into the expression


(2(5+13))/(3)

=
(2(18))/(3)

=
(36)/(3)

= 12

You have to use the distributive property, therefore you get 2x+13/3.

The next step is to do 2 x 5 because they gave us a number for the variable x. Then you have to do 2 x 13 which gives us 26.

10+26=36 and 36/3=12, hope I helped, Have a nice day! :)
