To expand the expression -4(6a - 5), we distribute the -4 to each term inside the parentheses.

-4 * 6a = -24a
-4 * -5 = 20

So, -4(6a - 5) becomes -24a + 20.

To expand the expression -4(6a - 5), we can use the distributive property. The distributive property states that when a number is multiplied by a sum, you can distribute the multiplication to each term inside the parentheses.

In this case, we have -4 multiplied by the sum (6a - 5). To distribute the -4 to each term inside the parentheses, we multiply -4 by each term separately:

-4 * 6a = -24a
-4 * (-5) = 20

So, expanding -4(6a - 5) results in -24a + 20.

To expand the expression −4(6a − 5), you need to distribute the −4 to every term inside the parentheses.

Start by distributing the −4 to the first term: -4 * 6a. This will give you -24a.

Next, distribute the −4 to the second term: -4 * -5. This will give you +20.

Finally, combine the results: -24a + 20.

So, the expanded form of −4(6a − 5) is −24a + 20.
