Answer:


\huge\boxed{\boxed{-8x+20}}

Explanation:

Hello.

Please remember that the Distributive Property states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Now, simplify:

-2(4x-10)

multiply -2 times 4x and -10:

-8x+20 (a negative times a negative equals a positive only)

And we're done!

I hope it helps & have an outstanding day!
