Question

Write an expression that is equivalent to -0.5(20f – 16).

Answer 1

Answer:

• - 10f + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

• - 0.5(20f - 16)

Distribute and simplify:

• -0.5(20f) - 0.5(- 16) =
• - 10f + 8

Answer 2

Apply distributive law

• a(b-c)=ab-ac

$\\ \tt\longmapsto -0.5(20f-16)$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto -0.5(20f)-0.5(-16)$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto -10f+8$
