Question

Expand: 4(5x+5) - 3(2x + 4)

Answer 1

4 x 5x = 20x

4 x 5. = 20

-3 x 2x = - 6x

-3 x 4 = - 12

Line them up, collect like terms & simplify

20x + 20 - 6x - 12

20x - 6x = 14x

20 - 12 = 8

Thus, answer is 14x + 8

Hope this helps!

⇒ 4(5x) + 4(5) - 3(2x) - 3(4)

multiply the variables

⇒ 20x + 20 - 6x - 12

collect like terms

⇒ 20x - 6x + 20 - 12

subtract like term
