Answer:
or you could write it as 5(x+Y) ÷ 2a
Step-by-step explanation:
So this is a question that kind of uses spoken words rather than numbers and it involves PEMDAS (if you haven't gotten to PEMDAS yet, don't worry about it, it's ok, it's easy). PEMDAS is simply an acronym for Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract. Its the order in wwhich you do more complicaterd math problems.
Lets break apart the question:
- We have the sum of x and y, we just write that as x+y
- We have that sum multiplied by 5, we have the sum from the step above, now we'll multiply that by 5. 5(x+y) parenthesis means multiply what is outside with what is inside.
- We have the product (multiply) of 2 and a, 2 times a = 2a.
- We divide the x, y, and 5 term with the 2, a term. Take the first part 5(x+y) and divide it by the second part 2a.
