Expand −4(6a − 5) .(1 point)
-4(6a - 5) can be expanded as follows:
-4 * 6a = -24a
-4 * -5 = 20
So, -4(6a - 5) expands to -24a + 20.
To expand −4(6a − 5), we can use the distributive property.
First, multiply −4 by 6a:
−4(6a) = -24a
Next, multiply −4 by −5:
−4(−5) = 20
Therefore, the expanded form of −4(6a − 5) is −24a + 20.
To expand the expression −4(6a − 5), we can use the distributive property. The distributive property states that for any numbers a, b, and c, the expression a(b + c) is equal to ab + ac.
In this case, we have −4 as the number a, and (6a - 5) as the expression inside the parentheses (b + c). So, we can apply the distributive property and multiply −4 with each term inside the parentheses:
-4 * 6a = -24a
-4 * -5 = 20
Therefore, the expanded form of −4(6a − 5) is −24a + 20.
