Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{25x + 55}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\star{ \sf{ \: \: 10(x + 4) + 15(x + 1)}}$

$\text{Step \: 1 \: : Distribute \: 10 \: through \: the \: parentheses}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{10x + 40 + 15(x + 1)}}$

$\text{Step \: 2 \: : Distribute \: 15 \: through \: the \: parentheses}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{10x + 40 + 15x + 15}}$

$\text{Step \: 3 \: : Collect \: like \: terms}$

$\text{Like \: terms \: are \: those \: which \: have \: the \: same \: base}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{10x + 15x + 40 + 15}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{25x + 40 + 15}}$

$\text{Step \: 4 \: : Add \: the \: numbers : 40 \: and \: 15}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{25x + 55}}$
