Expand -4(6a - 5)
Start by distributing the -4 to each term inside the parentheses:
-4(6a - 5) = -4(6a) + (-4)(-5)
Simplify each term:
-24a + 20
To expand -4(6a - 5), we can apply the distributive property.
First, multiply -4 by each term inside the parentheses:
-4 * 6a = -24a
-4 * -5 = 20
Therefore, the expanded form of -4(6a - 5) is: -24a + 20.
To expand -4(6a - 5), we need to distribute the -4 to every term inside the parentheses. This means multiplying -4 by both 6a and -5.
-4(6a - 5) = -4 * 6a - 4 * (-5)
First, let's calculate -4 * 6a:
-4 * 6a = -24a
Next, let's calculate -4 * (-5):
-4 * (-5) = 20
Now, we can rewrite the expression with the expanded form:
-4(6a - 5) = -24a + 20
So, when we expand -4(6a - 5), we get -24a + 20.
