Question

4 (-3-5) - (10+4x) helpppppp​

Answer 1

The answer would be -4x - 42.

Explanation:

Goal: Simplify the equation.

1. You need to distribute the - sign where it isn't. So the equation should look like this now: 4(-3-5)+-1(10+4x).
2. Now multiply -1(0+4x): (-1)(10) + -1(4x) to get 4(-3-5) +-10+-4x
3. Now multiply 4(-3-5): (4)(-3)= -12 / (4)(5) = 20 / -12-20 = -32
4. The equation should now look like: -32 + -10 + -4x
5. Next, we need to combine like terms and since the like terms are -32 and -10, the equation should look like: -4x + (-32 + -10).
6. Add -32 with -10: -32 + -10 = -42.
7. You can't do anything with the -4x so therefore, the equation would be -4x - 42.
