Question

Does someone mind helping me out this this problem? Thank you!

Answer 1

The answer would be 70.

Explanation:

To solve you substitute the x with 4, getting you the starting equation of 5(2(4)+6). Parentheses means to multiply and starting with the rules of PEMDAS you would do 2 times 4 equals 8. You would then do 8 + 6, which is equal to 14. You now have the problem 5(14), which is 70. I hope this helps! :) Have a great day! ^^

Answer 2

Let's evaluate ~

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 5(2x + 6)`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 5(2(4) + 6)`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 5(8 + 6)`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 5(14)`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 70`
