Answer:

5 + x + 5 + x + x

Explanation:

We are given 4 expressions and we have to determine which expressions shows a sum of five terms.

We use the process of elimination:

5(x + 5)

=5x+25 (distributing 5)

This contains sum of only two terms, eliminate.

5x

It contains only 1 term, eliminate.

5 + x + 5 + x + x

It contains 5 terms 5,x,5,x and x, KEEP!

5.

Only contains 1 term, eliminate.

With this said, were left with:

5 + x + 5 + x + x

Which is the correct answer! :)
