Question

How do you multiply `(4x + 3) ( 5x - 8)`?

Answer 1

`20x^2-17x-24`

Explanation:

To multiply this you have to multiply the first two terms inside the first parenthesis which are `4x+3x` by the other two terms `5x-8.`

You multiply `4x * 5x` and then by `-8` then you do the same with the `3`.

you will get 2`0x^2-32x+15x-24` then you combine like terms which are `-32x+15x` and you get `20x^2-17x-24`.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Well, the answer is `20x^2 - 17x - 24`

Explanation:

How to figure it out.

take the equations and do this: `(4x + 3) (5x + -8)`
(you have to make the equations positive, so make numbers negative)

Multiply `(4x) (5x) + (4x) (-8) + (3) (5x) + (3) (-8)`
(distributive property)

`20x^2 - 32x +15x -24`
(add the like properties.)

So the answer is:
`20x^2 - 17x - 24`

Answer 3

Use the distributive property of multiplication.
`20x^2 − 17x − 24`

Explanation:

`(4x+3)(5x−8)`

`4x(5x−8) + 3(5x−8)`

`20x^2 − 32x + 15x − 24`

`20x^2 − 17x − 24`

Answer 4

Apply the property distributive.

Explanation:

The property distributive say that if you have `a (c + d)` then you can have `a*c + a*d`, applying in your problem this same idea we have this result bellow:

`(4x+3)(5x-8) = 4x*5x -8*4x + 3*5x - 3*8 =`

`= 20x^2 - 32x + 15x - 24`
`= 20x^2 -17x - 24`
