Question

Ten added to the product of five and ten ?

Answer 1

let the letter n represent the number in the problem.

the sum of 5 and the number is written n + 5

the product of 10 and the number is written 10n

if these are added we get n + 5 + 10n

we combine like terms to get the final answer 11n + 5

Answer 2

Required expression = 5 × 10 + 10 = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the expression by finding expression for each wording first.

1. product of five and ten = 5 × 10
2. add ten to the product = 5 × 10 + 10

However if we want to find the solution or the simplified form, we use DMAS to do so:

• 5 × 10 + 10
• 50 + 10
• 60

Note:

The term 'product' refers to the multiplication of terms. For example, the product of a, b, c, d, ... is given by

a × b × c × d × ...

Heads up on 'DMAS':

• D = division (÷)
• M = multiplication (×)
• A = addition (+)
• S = subtraction (-)
