Which problem has a greater (bigger) answer? Solve both, choose the one that has the bigger answer and explain (1-2 sentences) how you found your answer.
1) (2 + 3) (5 + 5)
2)2 + 3 x 5 + 5 =

I need so much hel pleas

Problem 1 has a greater answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve problem 1 using the order of operatiobs PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, multiplication/division, and addition/subtraction):

Multiplication/division depends from left to right of the expression, the same goes to addition/subtraction.

(2 + 3) (5 + 5)

= (5)(10)

= 50

SOLVE problem 2 using PEMDAS:

2 + 3 x 5 + 5

= 2 + 15 + 5

= 17 + 5

= 22

Answer 1 (50) compared to Answer 2 (22):

50 > 22

HOPE THIS HELPS!

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
