(−4+2x)×(−4+5)
The simplified expression is (−4+2x)×(−4+5).
bro bot ur dumb the answer is (−4×2x)+(−4×5) did the test
I apologize if my previous response was not what you expected. The expression −4(2x+5) can indeed be simplified as (−4×2x)+(−4×5). Sorry for any confusion caused.
To simplify the expression −4(2x+5)/4, you can distribute the negative 4 to both terms inside the parentheses:
-4(2x+5) = -4*2x + -4*5
Simplifying further, you get:
-8x - 20
