20x + 50 (option B)

Step-by-step explanation:
5(3x\text{ + 10) + 5x}

Expanding the parenthesis:


5(3x)\text{ + 5(10) + 5x}
\begin{gathered} \text{simplifying:} \\ 15x\text{ + 50 + 5x} \end{gathered}

collecting like terms:


\begin{gathered} 15x\text{ + 5x + 50} \\ 20x\text{ + 50 (option B)} \end{gathered}
