Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given expression is 4(5n+4)5n4(-5 n+4)-5 n. . We need to find the expressions that are equivalent to the given expression.

STEP 2

First, we need to simplify the given expression. We can do this by using the distributive property of multiplication over addition, which states that for all real numbers a, b, and c, a(b + c) = ab + ac.
4(5n+4)5n=4(5n)+445n4(-5 n+4)-5 n =4 \cdot (-5n) +4 \cdot4 -5n

STEP 3

Now, perform the multiplication.
(5n+)5n=20n+165n(-5 n+)-5 n = -20n +16 -5n

STEP 4

Combine like terms.
20n+16n=25n+16-20n +16 -n = -25n +16

STEP 5

Now, we will compare this simplified expression with the provided options.
Option1 5(4n+4)5n-5(4 n+4)-5 n
First, simplify this expression using the distributive property and combining like terms.
5(4n+4)5n=54n545n=20n205n=25n20-5(4 n+4)-5 n = -5 \cdot4n -5 \cdot4 -5n = -20n -20 -5n = -25n -20This expression is not equivalent to the given expression.

STEP 6

Option2 16n2516 n-25
This expression is not equivalent to the given expression.

STEP 7

Option3 25n+4-25 n+4
This expression is not equivalent to the given expression.

STEP 8

Option4 4(7n+2n+4)5n4(-7 n+2 n+4)-5 n
First, simplify this expression using the distributive property and combining like terms.
4(7n+2n+4)5n=4(7n)+42n+445n=28n+8n+165n=25n+164(-7 n+2 n+4)-5 n =4 \cdot (-7n) +4 \cdot2n +4 \cdot4 -5n = -28n +8n +16 -5n = -25n +16This expression is equivalent to the given expression.
So, the expressions equivalent to 4(5n+4)5n4(-5 n+4)-5 n are 25n+16-25n +16 and 4(7n+2n+4)5n4(-7 n+2 n+4)-5 n.
