Removing Brackets Help Me!?

Question

What is 4(2x-5) +5 (x+6)? Maths Question Level 7.

Answer 1

4(2x-5)= 4*2x - 4* 5 = 8x -20

and 5(x+6) = 5*x + 5*6 = 5x +30

now adding both

8x-20+5x+30 will give u

13x + 10

Answer 2

4(2x-5)+5(x+6)

use the distributive property

8x-20+5x+30

add like terms

13x+15

Answer 3

is this written correctly?  or is it supposed to be:

4(2x-5) = 5 (x+6)?

8x-40 = 5x+30

3x = 70

x = 70/3

(roughly 23.3)

if you are just trying to get rid of the brackets, then the above by Phoenix is correct
