5(x + 30)
x + 30 represents the number of minutes per day he practices
5 is the number of days he practices
so 5(x+30) = the total number of minutes he practices in 5 days
For example, if he practices the piano for 20 minutes per day and the violin for 30 minutes per day, he practices a total of 50 minutes per day. For 5 days that would be 5 x 50 = 250 minutes in 5 days.
Plug that into the equation
5(x+30) = 5(20+30) = 5(50) = 250
The first step for solving this expression is to reduce the fraction with 11.

Now reduce the fraction with

.

Reduce the fraction one more time with

.

To take the root of a fraction,, we must take the root of the numerator and denominator separately. This rule will change the expression to the following:

Since we cannot simplify this fraction any further,, the final answer is going to be

.
