6.5a-26

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the expression:

6.5(a-4)

If we want to simplify this expression, then we must use the distributive property.

To distribute, multiply each term inside the parentheses by the number outside the parentheses.

(6.5*a) + (6.5*-4)

Multiply

6.5a+ (6.5*-4)

6.5a+ -26

A +- can be written as just -

6.5a-26
