Answer:

The answer is 4a+20....

Explanation:

Use the distributive property.

According to which when using the distributive property, you have to distribute (multiply) the 4 to the a and then the 4 to the 5. It looks like this.

4(a+5)

4(a)= 4a

4(5)=20

Thus the expression becomes:

4a+20

Thus the answer is 4a+20....
