My answers. 1.c 2. a
Thank you

1.c - No -- x times x = ?

2. a - No

Would 1. Be b? And 2 b?

No and no.

You're on your own now.

just do them step by step

-x(5x-4)
(-x)(5x) + (-x)(-4)
...

5k^2(-6k^2-2k+6)
(5k^2)(-6k^2) + (5k^2)(-2k) + (5k^2)(6)

To solve these expressions, you need to apply the distributive property. The distributive property states that when a number or variable is multiplied by a sum or difference in parentheses, you need to distribute the multiplication to each term inside the parentheses.

Let's solve them step by step:

1. -x(5x-4)
To distribute -x to each term inside the parentheses, you multiply -x by both 5x and -4.
= -x * 5x + -x * -4
= -5x^2 + 4x

So the correct answer is D. -5x^2 + 4x.

2. 5k^2(-6k^2-2k+6)
Again, distribute 5k^2 to each term inside the parentheses.
= 5k^2 * -6k^2 + 5k^2 * -2k + 5k^2 * 6
= -30k^4 - 10k^3 + 30k^2

So the correct answer is D. -30k^4 - 10k^3 + 30k^2.

Based on your answers, you got the correct answers for both questions:
1. c (5x + 4x) is incorrect.
2. a (-30k^3 + 3k^2 + 30k) is correct.

Great job!
