Answer 2

Hey there!

The Distributive Property states the following:

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Where

a, b, and c can be either variables or constants

Now that we know what the property states, let's simplify our expression:

4(5+x)

4 times 5 and 4 times x:

20+4x

Hence, the answer is

`\boxed{\boxed{\bold{20+4x}}}`

Hope everything is clear,
