Question

Expand the expression ​-2.5(-3 + 4n + 8)

Answer 1

Answer: 7.5 + 200n

Explanation:

(-2.5 • -3) + (-2.5 • 4n) + (-2.5 • 8)

7.5 + -10n + -20

7.5 + 200n

Answer 2

2.5+7.5+-10n+-20

Explanation:

Multiply everything on the inside by the number on the outside and put it together with addition signs.

-2.5(-3+4n+8)

-2.5*-3=7.5

-2.5(7.5+4n+8)

-2.5*4= -10

-2.5(7.5+-10n+8)

-2.5*8=-20

-2.5+7.5+-10n+-20
