−10(−2p+10)−4p

1 answer

To simplify the expression \(-10(-2p + 10) - 4p\), we can follow these steps:

  1. Distribute \(-10\) to the terms inside the parentheses: \[ -10(-2p) + (-10)(10) = 20p - 100 \]

  2. Now, incorporate the \(-4p\) from the original expression: \[ 20p - 100 - 4p \]

  3. Combine like terms (the terms involving \(p\)): \[ 20p - 4p = 16p \]

  4. Put everything together: \[ 16p - 100 \]

Therefore, the simplified expression is: \[ 16p - 100 \]
