Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 11(x+8) + 17x \):

1. Distribute \( 11 \) to both terms inside the parentheses: \[ 11(x) + 11(8) + 17x = 11x + 88 + 17x \]

2. Combine like terms (\( 11x \) and \( 17x \)): \[ (11x + 17x) + 88 = 28x + 88 \]

So, the simplified expression is \( 28x + 88 \).

The correct response is: 28x + 88
