Maxwell Morales · Answer 2

8x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply apply "distributive property" to make effective the implicit multiplication stated by 8 (x+5) which reads as: the factor "8" multiplies all that is inside the parenthesis * the binomial (x+5). In this case, 8 multiplies x which is the first term of the binomial, and also multiplies the second term "5".

Distributive property therefore gives us the following:

8 (x+5) = 8x + 40
