Afriend uses the distributive property to simplify 4(2b-5) and gets 8b-5 as the result. describe and correct the error.

it's supposed to be 8b-20

Step-by-step explanation:

when using the distributive property, you must distribute everything into what's inside the parentheses, so the 4 goes into 2b and -5. 4 times 2b equals 8b and 4 times -5 equals -20, meaning the answer is 8b-20

use this formula:

p(a\b) = p(a and b)/p(b).

take it from here.
