Answer 1

The simplified expression is x + 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression (5x+20)-(4x-28) using the Distributive Property, we distribute the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses:

(5x+20) - (4x-28) = 5x + 20 - 4x + 28

Combining like terms, we get:

(5x - 4x) + (20 + 28) = x + 48

Therefore, the simplified expression is x + 48.
