Question

4(10x+2)-40x Each step of the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

$\displaystyle =8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property:

       ↓

 A(B+C)=AB+AC

A=4,  B=10x, and C=2

$4*10x+4*2$

Simplify.

$40x+4*2$

$4*2=8$

$40x+8$

$40x+8-40x$

Group like terms

$40x-40x+8$

Add numbers from left to right.

$40x-40x=0$

$\displaystyle 8$, is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!
