Hello! You can answer this question by using the distributive property. Basically
a(b+c) = a(b) + a(c)
Let's apply it to this expression:
5x(x-4)
=5x(x)-5x(-4)
a(b+c) = a(b) + a(c)
Let's apply it to this expression:
5x(x-4)
=5x(x)-5x(-4)
1. Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 
Method 1: By Listing Multiples<span>List out all multiples of each denominator, and find the first common one.
5: 5,10
2: 2, 4, 6, 8,10</span>
Method 2: By Prime FactorsList all prime factors of each denominator, and find the union of these primes.
5 : 5
2 : 2
Therefore, the LCD is 2 x 5 = 10
2. Make the denominators the same as the LCD
3. Simplify. Denominators are now the same
4. Join the denominators
5. <span>Simplify
