Question

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression 5(4x + 8)

Answer 1

20x+40

Explanation:

Hey there! first, we multiply 5 x 4x = 20x. then we multiply 5 x 8 = 40

now we add them but in the 20x there is x so we can't add them but we can write them as 20x + 40

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf{20x+40}}`

Explanation:

Hello.

The Distributive Property states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac
`\mapsto` we multiply a times b and c

Now, simplify the given expression:

5(4x+8)

20x+40

I hope it helps.

Have a great day.
