Question

Expand 2/5 ( -5c + 10 )

2c - 10

-2c + 4

-2c + 10

2c - 4

Answer 1

To expand \( \frac{2}{5} (-5c + 10) \), you will multiply each term inside the parentheses by \( \frac{2}{5} \).

1. Multiply \( -5c \) by \( \frac{2}{5} \):
\[
\frac{2}{5} \times (-5c) = -2c
\]

2. Multiply \( 10 \) by \( \frac{2}{5} \):
\[
\frac{2}{5} \times 10 = \frac{20}{5} = 4
\]

Now, combine the results:
\[
\frac{2}{5} (-5c + 10) = -2c + 4
\]

So the expanded expression is:
\[
-2c + 4
\]

From the options you provided, the correct answer is **-2c + 4**.
