Question

Shea wrote the expression 5(y + 2) + 4 to show the amount of money five friends paid for snacks at a baseball game. Which expression is equivalent to the one Shea wrote?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. $5*y + 5*2 + 4$

2. $5*y + 10 + 4$  

3. $5y + 14$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$5(y + 2) + 4$

Required

Write an equivalent expression

$5(y + 2) + 4$

Start by opening the bracket.

$5(y + 2) + 4 = 5 * y + 5 * 2 + 4$

$5(y + 2) + 4 = 5 y + 10 + 4$

Add like terms (10 and 4)

$5(y + 2) + 4 = 5 y + 14$

Hence, equivalent expressions of $5(y + 2) + 4$ are:

1. $5*y + 5*2 + 4$

2. $5*y + 10 + 4$  

3. $5y + 14$
