Simplify the expression 19 + 6x + 5^2

A. -4x + 44
B. -16x + 44
C. 16x - 44
D. -4x + 29

1 answer

To simplify the expression \( 19 + 6x + 5^2 \), we first calculate \( 5^2 \):

\[ 5^2 = 25 \]

Now we substitute this back into the expression:

\[ 19 + 6x + 25 \]

Next, we combine the constant terms \( 19 \) and \( 25 \):

\[ 19 + 25 = 44 \]

Now the expression simplifies to:

\[ 6x + 44 \]

Thus, we can write it as:

\[ 6x + 44 \]

However, note that none of the options provided match this expression. Therefore, the answer is:

None of the options are correct, as the simplified expression is \( 6x + 44 \).
