Answer:
Yes, they are eqivelant.
Step-by-step explanation:
5(1+2x) and 10x+5
The first step is to set them equal to each other, to see if they are equivelent.
5(1+2x) = 10x+5
Distribute the 5 to both terms in the parentheses by multiplying.
5(1) + 5(2x) = 10x +5
5 + 10x = 10x +5
The communative property of addition proves that these are equal.
