Simplify: −4(2x+5)
(1 point)
(−4+2x)×(−4+5)
(−4−2x)+(−4−5)
(−4÷2x)+(−4÷5)
(−4×2x)+(−4×5)
-8x - 20
To simplify −4(2x+5), we can use the distributive property which states that a(b+c) = ab + ac.
So, applying the distributive property:
−4(2x+5) = −4(2x) + (−4)(5)
Next, we simplify each part of the expression:
−4(2x) = −8x
(−4)(5) = −20
So, the simplified expression is:
−8x − 20
