To expand the expression \(-4(6a - 5)\), you need to distribute \(-4\) to both terms inside the parentheses.

Here are the steps:

  1. Distribute \(-4\) to \(6a\): \(-4 \cdot 6a = -24a\)

  2. Distribute \(-4\) to \(-5\): \(-4 \cdot (-5) = 20\)

Now, combine both results:

\(-24a + 20\)

Thus, the expanded expression is:

\(-24a + 20\)
