You can't just drop the variable.
5(2x + 7) = 10x + 35
Now you can see that we can't add the 10 and 35
since they are "unlike" terms
Use the distributive property to write an expression that is equivalent to the example below:
5(2x + 7)
I think my answer is...
45.....How I got this answer was 5 x 2 + 5 x 7=45
10 + 35 = 45
Can you please double check my work?
