4. You remove the brackets
Remember:
-a × -b = positive ab / +ab
a × b = positive ab / +ab
-a × b = negative ab/ -ab
a × -b = negative ab / -ab
Where ab is the product of the two numbers & - or + are the signs.
a) 5(2x+3y) -4(3x-5y)
= 10x + 15y -12x + 20y
= 10x - 12x + 15y + 20y
= -2x + 35y
= 35y - 2x [I've been told that most people prefer the positive number in front rather than the negative number]
b) x- 2(x+ 3y) -(2x+3y) -4(x+y)b
= x - 2x - 6y - 2x - 3y - 4x - 4y
= x - 2x - 2x - 4x - 6y - 3y - 4y
= -7x - 13y
c) 3(a + 2b -2) -2(2a - 5b - 1)
= 3a + 6b - 6 -4a + 10b + 2
= 3a - 4a + 6b + 10b - 6 +2
= - a + 16b - 4
= 16b - a - 4
Let's represent this unknown number with the variable 'n'
n + n + 2n + 4n = -104
Explanations:
'n+n' - a number plus itself
'+2n' - plus twice itself
'+4n' - plus 4 times itself
Anyway:
n + n + 2n + 4n = -104
Simplify:
8n = -104
Divide both sides by 8:
n = -13
The number is -13
Good luck! If you need me to explain something in more depth, just ask :))

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer would be wx(yz) because the associative property says that you can change where the parenthesis are while keeping the same equation.
The equation is w(xy)z, but moving the parenthesis some where else will not change it, such as wx(yz).
