Question 8 of 10
Simplify this algebraic expression.
x - 5/5 + 10
• A. x+ 11
• B. x+9
• с. х- 3
D. x - 9

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( x - \frac{5}{5} + 10 \), follow these steps:

1. Simplify \(\frac{5}{5}\):
\[
\frac{5}{5} = 1
\]

2. Substitute this back into the expression:
\[
x - 1 + 10
\]

3. Combine the constant terms \(-1 + 10\):
\[
-1 + 10 = 9
\]

4. Therefore, the expression simplifies to:
\[
x + 9
\]

Thus, the simplified expression is \( x + 9 \), which corresponds to option **B.**
