Answer 1

A. 3(2 + y)

Explanation:

It's A. 3(2 + y) because when an equation is in parentheses then you have to do it first. So you would work out 2 + y and then multiply it by 3.

Hope I helped!!

Answer 2

5(2+y)

Explanation:

The sum of 2 and y = 2+y
So,

5 times the sum of 2 and y(2 + y) = 5 × (2+y) = 5(2+y)

The answer is 5(2+y)
