Question

What is this expression 2(5x-1)+14

Answer 1

Greetings!

I'm going to assume you want to simplify the expression: 
$2(5x-1)+14$

First, distribute the parenthesis:
$=2(5x-1)+14$

$=[(5x)(2)-(1)(2)]+14$

$=(10x-2)+14$

Next, you want to combine like terms:
$=(10x-2)+14$

$=10x+12$

This is the furthest the expression can be simplified:
$\boxed{10x+12}$

I hope this helped!

Answer 2

Hello there!

Your question states: What is this expression 2(5x-1)+14


2 * 5x = 10x

2 * -1 = -2

10x + -2 + 14 = 10x + 12

Your answer is 10x + 12 


Hope I helped!
