Question

Simplify the following expression 4(x + 10)

A. 4x + 40
B. 40x + 40
C. 4x + 10
D. 4 + x + 10

Answer 1

Answer choice A.

Explanation:

We can use the distributive property to solve.

4(x + 10) = 4x + 40

I got this by first multiplying 4 by x which is 4x, and 4 and 10, which is 40. We can see that 4x + 40 is one of the options here, so I would choose A. I hope this helps, and I hope it's not wrong, but I don't think it's wrong.
