QuestionDistribute $-4$ into the expression $7x + 5$ .

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given the expression $-4(7x +5)$ . We need to simplify this expression

STEP 2

We will use the distributive property of multiplication over addition to simplify this expression. The distributive property states that $a(b + c) = ab + ac$ .
$-4(7x +5) = -4 \cdot7x + -4 \cdot5$

STEP 3

Now, we will multiply $-$ with $7x$ and $5$ .
$- \cdot7x + - \cdot5 = -28x -20$ So, the simplified form of the expression $-(7x +5)$ is $-28x -20$ .
