Answer:

5x^2+120x

Explanation:

5x(x+24)

Step 1: Use distributive property to expand the expression. Multiply 5x separately with all the terms inside the bracket.

Step 2: 5x(x) = 5x^2

5x(24) = 120x

Answer: 5x^2+120x

Note: If you need to further solve it, you can factor it.

To Factor;

5x^2+120x

Step 1: Factor out the common: 5x

Step 2: 5x times x = x^2

5x times 24 = 120x

Therefore,

Factored answer: 5x(x+24)

Hope this helps.
