Question

Expand the following 4/5 (20x - 10)

Answer 1

4/5 (20x - 10)...use distributive property...basically multiplying the 4/5 by everything in the parenthesis,

4/5 * 20x - 4/5 * 10 =
16x - 8

Answer 2

The required answer is
`16x-8`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided expression 4/5 (20x - 10)

The above expression can be written as:

`(4)/(5)(20x-10)`

Now, use the distributive property:

Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

Use the above property

`(4)/(5)* 20x-(4)/(5)* 10`

`4* 4x-4 * 2`

`16x-8`

Hence, the required answer is
`16x-8`.
