Use the distributive property to write an equivalent variable expression.
-5(4j-1)
567777
-20j+5
10
To use the distributive property, you need to multiply -5 by each term inside the parentheses (4j and -1).
-5 * 4j = -20j
-5 * -1 = 5
So, the equivalent variable expression using the distributive property is:
-20j + 5
