Question

5( 4n-3) please help also could someone explain to me how to do similar equations

Answer 1

Simplify.

Distribute 5 to all terms within the parenthesis

5(4n) = 20n

5(-3) = -15

20n - 15 is your answer

hope this helps

What you do is to follow PEMDAS. Combine like terms, and distribute the outside term (that is connected to the parenthesis) to all terms within the parenthesis.
