Answer:

answer: 5x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property (of which this is an example) demands that the 5 must multiply the x (which was done correctly) to give 5x

But the problem becomes undone when you forget about the 2. You must multiply the 2 by 5 as well to give 10.

The plus sign cannot be destroyed. The terms are not alike. So the answer is 5x + 10
