Question 8 of 10

Question

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.
