Question

Answer the following questions CORRECTLY I will know if this is wrong. I WILL REPORT ANY INCORRECT ANSWERS!

Answer 1

Simplify:

2(x + 5) = 2x + 5

Reorder the terms:

2(5 + x) = 2x + 5

(5 * 2 + x * 2) = 2x + 5

(10 + 2x) = 2x + 5

Reorder the terms again:

10 + 2x = 5 + 2x

Add -2x to each side of the equation.

10 + 2x + -2x = 5 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

10 + 0 = 5 + 2x + -2x

10 = 5 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms:

2x + -2x = 0

10 = 5 + 0

10 = 5

Answer:  10 = 5
