Answer:
5x² - 20x
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply each term in the parenthesis by the 5x outside
5x(x - 4)
= (5x × x ) + (5x × - 4 )
= 5x² + (- 20x) = 5x² - 20x
Answer:
5x^2 - 20x.
Step-by-step explanation:
a(b +c ) = ab + ac is the distributive property, so we have:
5x(x - 4)
= 5x*x + 5x * -4
= 5x^2 - 20x.
