Answer:
5 + x + 5 + x + x
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given 4 expressions and we have to determine which expressions shows a sum of five terms.
We use the process of elimination:
5(x + 5)
=5x+25 (distributing 5)
This contains sum of only two terms, <u>eliminate</u>.
5x
It contains only 1 term, <u>eliminate</u>.
5 + x + 5 + x + x
It contains 5 terms 5,x,5,x and x, <u>KEEP</u>!
5.
Only contains 1 term, <u>eliminate</u>.
With this said, were left with:
5 + x + 5 + x + x
Which is the correct answer! :)
