how do i solve 5(x+10)+x

Question

anonymous · Answer

is it equal to anything?

mathstudent55 · Answer

First, you need to use the distributive property to get rid of parentheses.
Then you combine like terms.

mathstudent55 · Answer

Do you know how to use the distributive property?

anonymous · Answer

You're gifted @FireWolfSpirit 
I know you can do this.

nincompoop · Answer

it is not an equation, so what are you trying to solve?

mathstudent55 · Answer

The distributive property of multiplication over addition:
$a(b + c) = ab + ac$
Example:
$5(x + 3) = 5 \cdot x + 5 \cdot 3 = 5x + 15$

nincompoop · Answer

5(x+10)+x is only an expression and not an equation

nincompoop · Answer

if you assumed that the expression equals to zero then you just may be in the right track
but without an equation, solving for x is like looking for a miracle.

nincompoop · Answer

5(x+10)+x = 0  THE equal sign is pertinent and must exist for x to be solved.
