I would choose c because it makes the most sense rather then the rest
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
No, since the slopes are different
for 1 line
y = 4x - 4
slope = 4
for 2 line
4y = 24x - 96
slope = 24/4 = 6
One of the product rules for exponents was used.

Or, you can consider that the definition of an exponent and the associative and commutative properties of multiplication were used.
