Answer: 14x - 11

Explanation:

Add 10x and 4x.

14x −15 + 4

Add −15 and 4.

14 x −11

OR.

Apply the distributive property. 5 ( 2 x ) + 5 ⋅ − 3 + 4 ( x + 1 )

Multiply 2 by 5 . 10 x + 5 ⋅ − 3 + 4 ( x + 1 )

Multiply 5 by − 3 . 10 x − 15 + 4 ( x + 1 )

Apply the distributive property. 10 x − 15 + 4 x + 4 ⋅ 1

Multiply 4 by 1 . 10 x − 15 + 4 x + 4
