Question
Find the difference between
(2.4x -3) - (-3.2x+ 5)
- 5.6x + (-8)
- 6.6x + 2
- -1.2x + (-8)
- -1.2x + 2
Hint:
Rearrange such that terms with x are together
The correct answer is: 5.6x + (-8)
(2.4x -3) - (-3.2x+ 5)
=2.4x +3.2x -3 -5
=5.6 x +(-8)

Use the distributive property to expand the expression: 4(y + 5x)
Given Expression:
4(y + 5x)
Since, the given expression is in the form of a(b+ c) we can apply Distributive Law which yields ab+ ac as a result.
Similarly, By applying the Distributive Law to 4(y + 5x):
4(y + 5x)
=
= 4y + 20x.
Hence, the expression 4(y + 5x) becomes 4y + 20x after it's expansion.
