Question

11)

Which expression is equivalent to (2 + 3) + 5?
A)
2+(3+5)
B)
2(3+5)
C)
2 + 15
D)
6 + 5

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

2 + 3 = 5, then + 5 = 10

You do whatever is in the parentheses first, so 3 + 5 = 8, and then add 2 to get 10. This is the same as the answer we got in the original question, so A is the correct answer.
