Question

4(-8x + 5) – (-33x – 26) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

x+46

Step-by-step explanation:

4(-8x + 5) – (-33x – 26) ​

The first step is to distribute and simplify.

4 distributed to -8x will be -32x, and same thing goes with 5, which is 20.

-

The first part of the equation is -32x+20

Now, this is where it gets confusing.

If there is a sign before a pair of parentheses, you always put 1. In this case, it's -1 distributed to -33x and -26.

So, the second part of the expression will be +33x+26

The whole expression is

-32x + 20 + 33x + 26

add like terms, -32x+33x= x.

20+26=46.

The answer is x+46.

Answer 2

Answer:

1x+46 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

=4(-8x + 5) – (-33x – 26)

opening brackets to simplify

=-32x+33x+20+26

=1x+46 is the answer
