D would be the answer.Since you are adding the sum first hence the parentheses.
Answer:
1. 
2. 
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Problem #1:</u>
1. Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

2. Factor out the GCF and simplify.

3. Factor 
<u>Which two numbers add up to 7 and multiply to 10?</u>
2 and 5
<u>Rewrite the expression using the above.</u>

4. Done!

<u>Problem #2:</u>
1. Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

2. Factor out the GCF and simplify.

3. Use the perfect square formula. 


4. Done!

To find the value of x, you need to set up a proportion.This is the proportion you would set up:
2.5 x
---- = ------
3.75 60
x=40
1. 3y
multiplying 3 and y together gets 3y
2. y-5
5 less implies that we subtract 5 from y
3. y+7
adding 7 to y, self-explanatory
4. 9y
same thing as #1
5. 
quotient of implies division, since number y is listed first, y is the numerator
