Answer:8x-40

Explanation:

Because when we simply 4(x-5)/2

We multiply both sides by 2 because the inverse operations of division is multiplication. 2*4(x-5)*2/2 we cancel two by two then it leave us 4*2(x-5).

Next four times two is eight. So 8(x-5) we distribe eight that means eight times x and 5, 8x-40thos is the answer. Hope this help
