Question

Rewrite in simplest terms: 10(-s + 8) – 5(10s – 8)

Answer 1

Answer: -60s + 120

Step-by-step explanation: Apply Multiplicative distribution law: -10s + 10 x 8-5 x 10s - 5 x (-8)

Remove parentheses: -10s + 10 x 8-5 x 10s - 5 x -8

calculate the product or quotient: -10s + 80 - 5 x 10s + 5 x 10s + 40

multiply the monomials: -10s + 80 - 50s + 40

combine like terms: -60s + 120

Answer 2

-60s+40

Explanation:

10(-s+8)

expands to make -10s+80

5(10s-8)

expands to make 50s-40

-10s+80-50s-40= -60s+40

=-60s+40
