Question

Maritza had to solve 5(4m-6)-10

Answer 1

Hello there! Your question is missing some important information to solve. I will solve the equation by simplifying the expression. =)

Answer:

`20m-40`

Explanation:

Given the expression:

`5(4m-6)-10`

You can simplify it as follows:

1. Apply the Distributive Property multiplying each term inside the parentheses by the number 5 outside:

`=(5)~(4m)-(5)~(6)-10`

`=20m-30-10`

2. Add the like terms (remember that like terms have the same variables with the same exponents):

`=20m-40`

Hence, the answer is
`20m-40`

Answer 2

Hi! I hope you're enjoying your day!

I can help Maritza solve this maths problem. ;)

The first step in solving this problem is using the Distributive Property and distribute 5.

How to distribute 5:

multiply 5 times 4m and -6 and simplify :)

So let's do it! :)

5(4m-6)-10

20m-20-10

Now, combine like terms:

`\boxed{\boxed{\bold{20m-30}}}`

And yeah, we can't simplify this expression, because 20m and -30 are not like terms.

Hope everything is clear.
