Given:
The equation is:
To find:
The next step in simplifying the equation by using distributive property.
Solution:
Distributive property: According to this property if a, b and c are three real numbers, then
We have,
Using the distributive property, we get
It can be written as:
Therefore, the next step of the simplification is .
I think it's B. not sure though u should wait. till someone else answer to see if I am right
Answer:
the last option (-5k+4)-8 + 6k
Step-by-step explanation:
-8(-5k+4)+6k
to simplify, begin by distributing the -8 so that parentheses are removed:
=(-8)(-5k) + (-8)(4) + 6k
=40k - 32 + 6k
combine 'like terms':
46k-32
the only answer which simplifies to 46k-32 is the last option:
the only difference between the original problem and the last option is that the -8 value is behind the parentheses instead of in front of it; it simplifies to be 46k-32
