Answer:

8/5-12x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To distribute, you simply need to multiply each of the terms inside of the parenthesis by -4. This will give you:

=-4( $\frac{-2}{5}$ )-4(3x)

=8/5-12x. This is your answer!

What number would you add to the equation below to complete the square?x2 + 4x = 0?

------------------------------------------------------------------
Equation
------------------------------------------------------------------
x² + 4x = 0

------------------------------------------------------------------
Add a constant
------------------------------------------------------------------
x² + 4x + (4/2)² - (4/2)² = 0 ← Add 2² to form perfect square

------------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluate bracket
------------------------------------------------------------------
x² + 4x + 2² - 2² = 0

------------------------------------------------------------------
Form the perfect square
------------------------------------------------------------------
(x + 2)² = 4

------------------------------------------------------------------
Square root both sides
------------------------------------------------------------------
(x+2) = $\pm$ √4

------------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluate the square root
------------------------------------------------------------------
(x+2) = $\pm$ 2

------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x
------------------------------------------------------------------
x = 2 - 2 or x = -2 - 2

x = 0 or -4

------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The constant to add is 4 and the value of x = 0 or -4
