5

2 was not multiplied by 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use the distributive property then the equation will actually look like this.

2x + 10.

So the student forgot to multiply 2 by 5.

In the equation 2(x+5) = 2x +5
You need to use distributive property so your answer would be 2x + 10.
So the mistake that was made is...

2(x+5) = 2x + 5

The mistake made was that 2 was not multiplied by 5.

In distributive property of multiplication, the number outside the parenthesis must be multiplies to all numbers inside the parentheses with its corresponding signs.

2(x+5) = 2(x) + 2(5) = 2x + 10

Here is another example of a distributive property:

3(x+5) - 2(x-5)
3(x) + 3(5) - 2(x) -2(-5)
3x + 15 -2x + 10
3x - 2x + 15 + 10 * group like terms
x + 25
