use the distributive property to simplify this
expression: -2(3x+x-5)
1. using order of operations, combine like terms
in the parentheses:
-2(4x + 5)
2. distribute -2 to each term in the
parentheses:
what is the simplified algebraic expression?
o 4x-5
08x-5
o 8x + 10
o 8x - 10
-2(4x + 5)

-8x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is: -2(3x+x-5)

Step 1: Using order of operations, combine like terms

-2(4x-5)

Step 2: Distribute -2 to each term in the  parentheses:

-8x+10

Hence, the simplified expression is:

-8x+10

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2
