Question

Use the distributive property to simplify 4(5x-6)

Answer 1

$4(5x-6)=20x-24$

Explanation

The distributive property tells us how to solve expressions in the form of a(b + c)

$a(b+c)=ab+ac$

Step 1

Apply the distributive property

$\begin{gathered} 4(5x-6) \\ 4(5x-6)=(4\cdot5x)-(4\cdot6) \\ 4(5x-6)=20x-24 \end{gathered}$
