Timmy wrote the expression 5 (x + 2) as 5x+2. Explain whether or not Timmy's math is correct.

Timmy's expression is wrong

If you do this expression 5 (x+2) the results are gonna be 5x+10. If Timmy did the expression like 5x+2, the expression is going to stay like this because that is the result, you can't do anymore after that.

5x+2 ≠ 5 (x+2)

No es correcto por que en la primera ecuación 5 afecta a X y a 2, pero en la segunda 5 solo afecta x
