Question

Simplify the product using the distributive property. (4h – 5)(5h – 3)

Answer 1

20h^2−37h+15 this is your answer

Answer 2

`20h^2-37h + 15`

Explanation:

The distributive property says that:

`a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c`

Given the expression:
`(4h-5)(5h-3)`

Distribute the first term and second term of the first expression to the second expression, we have;

`4h(5h-3)-5(5h-3)`

Apply the distributive property:

`20h^2-12h - 25h + 15`

Combine like terms;

`20h^2-37h + 15`

Therefore, the simplified product of the given expression using distributive property is
`20h^2-37h + 15`
