simplify the expression
x(5x – 4)
4x^2 – 5x
–5x – 4x
5x + 4x
–5x^2 + 4x
I'd say yes, except for that pesky minus sign.
I suspect a typo. D is correct if the original expressions is
-x(5x-4)
To simplify the expression x(5x - 4), we need to distribute the x to each term inside the parentheses:
x(5x - 4) = 5x^2 - 4x
Thus, the simplified expression is 5x^2 - 4x.
To simplify the expression x(5x - 4), we need to distribute the x to each term inside the parentheses.
Multiplying x with 5x, we get 5x^2.
Multiplying x with -4, we get -4x.
The simplified expression becomes:
5x^2 - 4x
