Given:
When an expression contains both a sum a product without any brackets, then we always need to perform the product before performing the sum. This is thus equivalent with placing brackets about the product.
Let us evaluate the product using that the product of 1 and 10 is 10.
=5+10
Next, we evaluate the sum using that the sum of 5 and 10 is 15:
=15
Thus the answer to the equation is 15.
Result:
15
