5(x + 12) = 5x + 60 <==

Answer:

The expression that is equivalent to the given expression is:

               5x+60

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

if you add 12 marshmallows to each of 5 bags of marshmallows, and each bag started with the same number of marshmallows.

so, let x be the initial number of marshmallows in each bag and now 12 are added to each bag this means that the number of marshmallows in each bag is:

                   x+12

Hence, total number of marshmallows in 5 bags is:

       5(x+12)=5×x+5×12

      5(x+12)=5x+60

         Hence, the answer is:

                     5x+60
