Question

which expression is equivalent to $5(5h + 3) + 4(5h + 4)$? $45h + 19$ $25h + 31$ $45h + 31$ $31h + 45$

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property

$5(5h + 3) + 4(5h + 4) = 25h + 15 + 20h + 16$

Step2: Combine like terms (h terms)

$25h + 20h + 15 + 16 = 45h + 15 + 16$

Step3: Combine constant terms

$45h + (15 + 16) = 45h + 31$

Answer:

45h + 31
