Answer:
-45-26x+30
Step-by-step explanation:
So first you let's divide this equation into three parts.
Part one -9x(5x+4)
- Step one: you have to distribute the -9x to the numbers in the parentheses. That would leave us with a -9x*5x = -45
and -9x*4 = -36x
- Step two: Put the answers together. That would leave us with -45
Part two 10(x+3)
- Step one: you have to distribute the 10 to the numbers in the parentheses. That would leave us with a 10*x = 10x and 10*3 = 30
- Step two: Put the answers together. That would leave us with 10x+30
Part three solve
- Step one: combine and put together what you have solved for. That would leave us with a -45
- Step two: combine like terms. The like terms here are -36x and 10x. When you combine them you would get -26x.
- Step three: Write the equation in standard form. Therefore the answer is -45
