Question

an expression that represents the sum of B and 5 times 2

Answer 1

2(b+5)

Since "sum" means the answer to and addition problem it means we have to add. So it would be b+5. And instead of writing 2 x b+5. There is a simpler way: 2(b+5) cuz it means the same thing (multiplying by two) Hope this helps! Good luck!
