Which algebraic expression is equivalent to the expression below?

(5x + 10) + 9x

A.24x

B.15x + 9

C.-4x + 10

D.14x + 10

Answer 1

5x + 10 + 9x

We just add 5x + 9x, what do you get?

Answer 2

5x + 9x is the same thing as 5 + 9 but we add an 'x' at the end. So what's 5 + 9?

Answer 3

14

Answer 4

Yes, that gives us 14x, then we leave the 10 there, so we have:

14x + 10

Answer 5

i thought your supposed to do parenthesis first :/

Answer 6

brb

Answer 7

Yes, but we cannot do the parenthesis because we cannot add 5x + 10, so we just distribute '1' into the parentheses which removes the parenthessis.

Answer 8

*parenthesis
