Simplify the expression using the distributive property.
1/4(4x-8)-2(5x+6)

identify the expression in its simplest form.
11x + 10
x – 14 – 10x
1x – 2 – 10x – 12
–9x – 14

-9x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute (multiply) the 1/4 to everything in the parentheses.

1/4 * 4x = 1x or x       1/4 * -8 = -2

Then you distribute (multiply) the -2 to everything in the parentheses.

-2 * 5x  = -10x       -2 * 6 = -12

Then you put the equations together.

x - 2 - 10x - 12

Then you combine like terms.

x - 10x = -9x      -2 - 12 = -14

Finally you get your answer in simplest form.

-9x - 14

solution:

→c= a b , that is product of a and b is possible only when when a is m × n matrix and b is n × p matrix.

that is, number of columns of a= number of rows of b.

so, size of matrix , c= a b is , if a = (m × n)matrix

b= (n × p)matrix

then a b = [ (m × n)matrix] ×[   (n × p)matrix ]

→→c= a b= [m × p ] matrix

→→size of product a b will be equal to = number of rows of a × number of columns of b

it is true
