Question

What is this expression 2(5x-1)+14

Answer 1

Greetings!

I'm going to assume you want to simplify the expression:

`2(5x-1)+14`

First, distribute the parenthesis:

`=2(5x-1)+14`


`=[(5x)(2)-(1)(2)]+14`


`=(10x-2)+14`

Next, you want to combine like terms:

`=(10x-2)+14`


`=10x+12`

This is the furthest the expression can be simplified:

`\boxed{10x+12}`

I hope this helped!

Answer 2

Hello there!

Your question states: What is this expression 2(5x-1)+14


2 * 5x = 10x

2 * -1 = -2

10x + -2 + 14 = 10x + 12

Your answer is 10x + 12
