Expand -4 ( 6a - 5 )

Answer 1

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

\[ -4(6a) + -4(-5) \]

Now, calculate each term:

1. \(-4 \times 6a = -24a\)
2. \(-4 \times -5 = 20\)

Now combine these results:

\[ -24a + 20 \]

So, the expanded expression is:

\[ -24a + 20 \]
