You're welcome.
To show your work on the expression 20u - 6(u + 5), you will need to apply the distributive property and simplify the expression step by step. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Distribute the -6 to the terms inside the parentheses:
20u - 6(u + 5) = 20u - 6u - 30
Step 2: Simplify the terms separately:
20u - 6u = 14u
Step 3: Combine the simplified terms with the constant term -30:
14u - 30
So, the final simplified expression is 14u - 30.
To further clarify, here's the breakdown of the steps:
Expression: 20u - 6(u + 5)
1. Distribute the -6:
20u - 6u - 6(5)
Simplify: 20u - 6u - 30
2. Combine the like terms:
20u - 6u = 14u
3. Combine the simplified term with the constant term:
14u - 30
That's how you show your work for the expression 20u - 6(u + 5).
