Question

PLEASE HELP ME Which expression is equivalent to –8(–5k+4)+6k

Answer 1

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
