Q. Simplify to create an equivalent expression.5(10k+1)+2(2+8k)Choose 1 answer:(A) 66k+9(B) 64k+9(C) 66k+54(D) 64k−9
Distribute Multiplication: First, we need to distribute the multiplication over addition in both expressions. For the first expression, we multiply 5 by both 10k and 1. For the second expression, we multiply 2 by both 2 and 8k.
Distribute 5 over (10k+1): Distribute 5 over (10k+1):5×10k+5×1=50k+5
Distribute 2 over (2+8k): Distribute 2 over (2+8k):2×2+2×8k=4+16k
Add Distributed Results: Now, we add the results of the distributions together: 50k+5 + 4+16k
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms 50k and 16k and 5 and 4:50k+16k+5+4=66k+9
