Question

Rewrite the expressions by using distributive property and collecting like terms 4/5 (1/4c-5)

Answer 1

Answer:

c/5-4

Step-by-step explanation:

distributive property rule is If a(b+c) then a*b+a*c

so we apply the rule to this expression

4/5*1/4c-4/5*5

we can write as

4      1          4       5

_  *  _  c  -   _  *   __    (remember PEM/D A/S Rule and multiply straight across)

5      4          5       1

4             20

_   c  -     __

20           5

simplify 4/20 as 1/4 and divide 5 from 20 you get 5

1

_ c  -4 is the simplified expression

5

also written as c/5-4
