Solve Linear Expression: Expanding 2x + 5(x-5)

Question

$2x+5(x-5)=$

00:05 Let's solve the problem together!

00:08 First, open the parentheses carefully. Multiply each factor one by one.

00:13 Write each multiplication separately to keep it clear.

00:19 Remember, always solve multiplication and division before you handle addition and subtraction.

00:31 Continue solving in order, from left to right.

00:34 And there you have it! That's the solution to the problem.

We simplify the exercise in parentheses as follows:

$2x+(5\times x)-(5\times5)=$

We solve the exercises in parentheses:

$2x+5x-25=$

We add like terms:

$2x+5x=7x$

We obtain

$7x-25$

$7x-25$
