First of all you need to expand this expression. you do this by multiplying the number outside the brackets with each term inside the brackets. this is the first one ;   3 x 2a = 6a, 3 x 5 = 15. the extra + sign in the first brackets stays between the two terms, so the first set of brackets is now 6a + 15. now we have to look at the second ; 5 x a = 5a, 5 x 2 = 10, like the extra + sign, the extra - sign stays between the two terms as well, so the second bracket is now 5a-10. you put them together to get  6a + 15 + 5a - 10.

next you need to simplify the expression. first you need to group like terms,        e.g. the numbers and the letters.   <u>6a</u> + <em>15 </em><u>+5a</u> <em>-</em><em>10.</em> the 6a + 5a = <em><u>11a</u></em> and the 15 - 10 = <u><em>+</em></u><em><u>5</u></em>. you then put these two terms together to get your final answer of <em><u>
</u></em>

<u><em>11a + 5</em></u>

Take the first bracket and it's multiplication, 3(2a+5)
You expand my multiplying everything inside the bracket by the number outside.
3*2a = 6a
3*5 = 15
Then multiply out the second bracket, 5(a-2)
5*a = 5a
5*-2 = -10
So now you have 6a + 15 + 5a - 10
Simplify it by collecting like terms, and you have:
11a + 5
And that's the answer, hope I helped!

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Two sum of any two side lengths of a triangle will always be greater than the length of the remaining side

a doesn't work because 8+12=20 and 20 is not greater than 20

b doesn't work because 4+5=9 and 9<10

d doesn't work because 6+6=12 and 12 is not greater than 12

c is the only option where you can take any two sides, add them, and the sum will be greater than the remaining side.

For example, for c,

6+8=14, and 14>10

8+10=18, and 18>6

10+6=16, and 16>8
