Answer 1

Answer:

option B. the square of the sum of 2 times x and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$(2x+5)^{2}$

we know that

The algebraic expression $(2x)$ is equal to the phrase " Two times x" (the number two multiplied by x)

The algebraic expression $(2x+5)$ is equal to the phrase " The sum of two times x and 5" (the number two multiplied by x plus the number 5)

The algebraic expression $(2x+5)^{2}$ is equal to the phrase " The square of the sum of two times x and 5"
