To distribute \( 10x(-x - 1) \), you need to multiply \( 10x \) by each term in the parentheses \((-x - 1)\).
Here are the steps:
1. Multiply \( 10x \) by \(-x\):
\[
10x \cdot (-x) = -10x^2
\]
2. Multiply \( 10x \) by \(-1\):
\[
10x \cdot (-1) = -10x
\]
Now, combine the two results:
\[
-10x^2 - 10x
\]
Thus, the distributed form of \( 10x(-x - 1) \) is:
\[
\boxed{-10x^2 - 10x}
\]
Here are the steps:
1. Multiply \( 10x \) by \(-x\):
\[
10x \cdot (-x) = -10x^2
\]
2. Multiply \( 10x \) by \(-1\):
\[
10x \cdot (-1) = -10x
\]
Now, combine the two results:
\[
-10x^2 - 10x
\]
Thus, the distributed form of \( 10x(-x - 1) \) is:
\[
\boxed{-10x^2 - 10x}
\]
