The answer is B. (2x + 5)(x + 1)You could answer this by expanding each answer until you found one that matched 2x^2 + 7x + 5, but I will only show how the answer expands:
2x × x = 2x^2
5 × x = 5x
2x × 1 = 2x
5 × 1 = 5
So in total those brackets expand to 2x^2 + 7x + 5. I hope this helps!

A real word problem could be that max has 3/4 of a chocolate bar and he wants to divide the chocolate with 1/6 of her class. If he does that, how much will each person get?
Answer:
x^2+3x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
x * x - x + 4x - 4
x^2 - x + 4x - 4
x^2 + 3x - 4
