Write the letters of the expressions that are equivalent to the given expression. 5(2x + 3)
a. 10x + 15
b. 5x + 15x + 5x
c. 10x + 8

A.) 10x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

You would distribute (multiply) the 5 to the 2x which would then make it 10x and you would distribute (multiply) the 5 to the 3 which would then make it 15. Because the 5 is a positive number the sign stays the same.

Therefore, 10x + 15 is your answer.

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
