(−4−2x)+(−4−5)open paren negative 4 minus 2 x close paren plus open paren negative 4 minus 5 close paren

(−4+2x)×(−4+5)open paren negative 4 plus 2 x close paren times open paren negative 4 plus 5 close paren

(−4÷2x)+(−4÷5)open paren negative 4 divided by 2 x close paren plus open paren negative 4 divided by 5 close paren

(−4×2x)+(−4×5)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(-4(2x + 5)\), we will distribute \(-4\) to both terms inside the parentheses:

\[ -4(2x) + (-4)(5) \]

This gives us:

\[ -8x - 20 \]

So the simplified expression is:

\(-8x - 20\)

Among the responses provided, the correct one is:

\((−4×2x)+(−4×5)\)

This one matches the steps I've just detailed.
