Question

Expand to write an equivalent expression.
-8(-x-1/4y+5)

Answer 1

To expand the expression -8(-x-1/4y+5), we can distribute the -8 to each term inside the parentheses:

-8(-x-1/4y+5) = -8 * -x - 8 * (1/4y) - 8 * 5

Simplifying each term:

= 8x + 2y - 40

Therefore, the expanded form of -8(-x-1/4y+5) is 8x + 2y - 40.
