Identify the expression to simplify: \(x\left(x+5\right)\).
Apply the distributive property, which means multiplying \(x\) by each term inside the parentheses: \(x \times x\) and \(x \times 5\).
Write the products as a sum: \(x \times x + x \times 5\).
Simplify each product: \(x \times x\) becomes \(x^{2}\), and \(x \times 5\) becomes \$5x$.
Combine the simplified terms to get the final expression: \(x^{2} + 5x\).
