Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf{5x+10}}

Explanation:

Hello.

This is the formula for the Distributive Property:


\tt{a(b+c)=ab+ac}

Where

a, b, and c can be either variables or constants or variables with coefficients (like 6y)

Using the property, let's simplify the expression.


\tt{5(x+2)

Distribute 5:


\tt{5x+10

I hope it helps.

Have an outstanding day.
