To expand the expression \(-4(6a - 5)\), you need to distribute \(-4\) to both terms inside the parentheses.
Here are the steps:
-
Distribute \(-4\) to \(6a\): \(-4 \cdot 6a = -24a\)
-
Distribute \(-4\) to \(-5\): \(-4 \cdot (-5) = 20\)
Now, combine both results:
\(-24a + 20\)
Thus, the expanded expression is:
\(-24a + 20\)
