Answer:
An example below
Step-by-step explanation:
5(4a + 7(a + 2b))
First simply the inside bracket using distributive property:
7(a + 2b)
7(a) + 7(2b)
7a + 14b
5(4a + 7a + 14b)
5(11a + 14b)
Use distributive property again
5(11a) + 5(14b)
55a + 70b
we don't know what the value of "X" is, so therefore, we cannot conclude that it is 15 cm.
