Answer 1

Let's simplify the expression \( 5(5 - 3x) + 4x \).

1. Distribute the \( 5 \):
\[
5 \cdot 5 - 5 \cdot 3x = 25 - 15x
\]

2. Now, add \( 4x \) to the result:
\[
25 - 15x + 4x = 25 - 15x + 4x = 25 - 11x
\]

So the simplified expression is \( 25 - 11x \).

The correct response is **25 − 11x**.
