Mason wrote the expression shown below 5(y+2). write an expression that is equivalent to mason’s expression

5y+10

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to rewrite this equation is to use the distributive property.

5y+10

Or, we can just use the commutative property to switch the numbers around, but I recommend the distributive.

5(2+y)

Hope this helps!

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions

this doesn't make sense lol
