To simplify the expression \((-4 \times 2x) + (-4 \times 5)\), we can first perform the multiplications separately: 1. For \(-4 \times 2x\): \[ -4 \times 2x = -8x \] 2. For \(-4 \times 5\): \[ -4 \times 5 = -20 \] Now, we can combine these results: \[ -8x + (-20) = -8x - 20 \] Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ -8x - 20 \]

To simplify the expression \((-4 \times 2x) + (-4 \times 5)\), we can first perform the multiplications separately:

For \(-4 \times 2x\): \[ -4 \times 2x = -8x \]
For \(-4 \times 5\): \[ -4 \times 5 = -20 \]

Now, we can combine these results: \[ -8x + (-20) = -8x - 20 \]

Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ -8x - 20 \]
