Answer:

Yes, they are eqivelant.

Explanation:

5(1+2x) and 10x+5

The first step is to set them equal to each other, to see if they are equivelent.

5(1+2x) = 10x+5

Distribute the 5 to both terms in the parentheses by multiplying.

5(1) + 5(2x) = 10x +5

5 + 10x = 10x +5

The communative property of addition proves that these are equal.
