Question

Expand the following 4/5 (20x - 10)

Answer 1

Answer:

The required answer is $16x-8$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided expression 4/5 (20x - 10)

The above expression can be written as:

$\frac{4}{5}(20x-10)$

Now, use the distributive property:

Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

Use the above property

$\frac{4}{5}\times 20x-\frac{4}{5}\times 10$

$4\times 4x-4 \times 2$

$16x-8$

Hence, the required answer is $16x-8$.

Answer 2

4/5 (20x - 10)...use distributive property...basically multiplying the 4/5 by everything in the parenthesis,

4/5 * 20x - 4/5 * 10 =
16x - 8
