Question

Select the verbal phrase that corresponds with the given expression.

5(x + y)

Five times the quantity x plus y

The sum of x and y to the fifth power

Five times x plus y

x plus five times y

Answer 1

i think it's the 3rd one five times x plus y

Answer 2

For me i think the first one is the right one. Five times the quantity x plus y. Cause it clearly tells you to add x and y first before multiplying by 5.

If you choose the 3rd one, you will instead be getting (5*x) +y.
