Simplify the following expression: -5[(x3 + 1)(x + 4)]
A. 4 + 4x3 + x + 4
B. x4 + 3 + 4x
C. -5x4 + 20X3 - 5
D. -5x4 - 20X3 - 5x- 20

-5[(x3 +1)(x + 4)]

=> -5[ x3 (x+4) + 1 (x+4) ]

=> -5 [ x4 + 4x3 + x + 4x ]

=> -5x4 -20x3 -5x -20x

option D is the correct one

positive

step-by-step explanation:

the quadrant is facing upwards

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
