10 different ways

1 answer

Sure! Here are 10 different ways to rewrite the expression \(-10(x + 4) + 2(x + 5)\):

  1. \(-10x - 40 + 2x + 10\)
  2. \(-8x - 30\)
  3. \(2(x + 5) - 10(x + 4)\)
  4. \(-10x + 2x - 40 + 10\)
  5. \(-8x - 30\)
  6. \(-10(x + 4) + 2(x + 5) = -10x - 40 + 2x + 10\)
  7. \(-8x - 30 = -2(4x + 15)\)
  8. \(-10(x + 4) + (2x + 10) = -10(x + 4) + 2(5) + 2(x)\)
  9. \(-8x - 30 = -2(4x + 15)\)
  10. \(-10(x + 4) + 2(x + 5) = -(10x + 40) + (2x + 10)\)

These rewrites include variations in how the expression is rearranged, expanded, and factored.
