Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac

(5x - 2) · 4 = 4(5x - 2) = (4)(5x) + (4)(-2) = 20x - 8

Answer:

20x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

using the distributive property to simplify (5x-2)4, you would multiply the outside term (4) by each inside term (5x-2).

for example:

4 × 5x = 20x

4 × -2 = -8

once you distribute the 4 into 5x-2, you are left with 20x - 8 which needs no further simplifying
