What is the simplest form of (5x-8)(2x+4)

1 answer:

8 0

Let's solve step by step

So all we need to do is simplify the equation

(5x − 8)(2x + 4)

= (5x + −8)(2x + 4)

= (5x)(2x) + (5x)(4) + (−8)(2x) + (−8)(4)

= 10x^2 + 20x − 16x − 32

= 10x^2 + 4x − 32

Therefore the simplified form of this is 10x^2 + 4x − 32
