Question

Rewrite 4x(y - 5) by multiplying 4x by each term inside the parentheses using the distributive property. Rewrite 4x(y - 5) using this property. 4x(y-5) = (4x) y - (4x) 5 (Type the terms of your expression in the same order as they appear in the original expression.) Use the commutative property of multiplication. 4x(y - 5) = 4xy-4(x\cdot 5) 4xy-4x\cdot 5 4xy-5(4x)

          Rewrite 4x(y - 5) by multiplying 4x by each term inside the parentheses
using the distributive property.
Rewrite 4x(y - 5) using this property.
4x(y-5) = (4x) y - (4x) 5
(Type the terms of your expression in the same order as they appear in the
original expression.)

4x(y - 5) =
4xy-4(x\cdot 5)
4xy-4x\cdot 5
4xy-5(4x)
