Question

Can someone please help me with this equation, ill give brainest to the person who is correct.

Answer 1

5x means that 5 should be multiplied by the value of x
Every time a variable is touching a number it means it’s multiplying

5x + 8 = ?

If x = 9, you would multiply 5 and 9 which is 45. You then add 45 and 8

45 + 8 = 53

Therefore 5x + 8 = 53

Hope this helps you! :)
