Question

Expand the expression using the distributive property. Then, simplify by combining like terms.

4(2x-5) +3x

Part A: What is the expanded form of 4(2x−5)

Part B: What is the simplified expression 4,(2x - 5)+ 3x

Answer 1

I think this is the answer! 2x3 + 5x2 - x - 6 let me know if it’s right :)

Answer 2

Part A= 8x-20

Part B= 11x- 20

Part A explanation-using distributive property 4 x 2x = 8x
then 4x -5=-20
then put it together 8x-20


Part B explanation-
from part A you have 8x-20
then you have to add on the rest of the equation
so it looks like this 8x - 20+ 3x
you combine the numbers with x’s
8x + 3x= 11x
so then add it to the rest of the equation
and you have 11x - 20
