Responses

5x + 2
5 x + 2

5x + 10
5 x + 10

5x + 25
5 x + 25

x + 10

Answer 1

To use the Distributive Property on the expression \(5(x + 2)\), you multiply \(5\) by each term inside the parentheses:

\[
5(x + 2) = 5 \cdot x + 5 \cdot 2 = 5x + 10
\]

So, the correct rewritten expression is:

**5x + 10**
