First you have to multiply -8 to (-4x-1)
which is, -12x+8
then there is -9x you have to add like terms
-12x-9x+8
-21x+8 is your final answer
Yes you can! Say you have 5(2 + x) + 3x. The answer would be 10+8x because when you use the distributive property you will end up getting 5*2 5*x and once you multiply, it's obvious 5 times 2 is 10 and 5 times x will equal 5x. Then you add 5x and 3x and get 8x. So, the simplified expression here is 10+8x. When you have this as an answer it's proving your answer right. You can without using the distributive property. We can have 10+5x+3x and it will be your simplified expression. It's the same thing with equations too.
Are you solving p or h
This is the answer for h h=p-1/2
This is the answer for p p=h+1/2
Use distributive method
5r - 50 = -51
Add 50
5r = -1
Divide by 5
r = -1/5
