Math Problem Statement

4-5(-4n+3)

Solution

Let's solve the expression step by step:

Given:
45(4n+3)4 - 5(-4n + 3)

  1. First, distribute the 5-5 to each term inside the parentheses: 45(4n)+5(3)4 - 5(-4n) + 5(3) This simplifies to: 4+20n154 + 20n - 15

  2. Now combine the constants 44 and 15-15: (415)+20n=11+20n(4 - 15) + 20n = -11 + 20n

Thus, the simplified expression is: 11+20n-11 + 20n

  2. What happens if the sign in front of the 55 is positive instead of negative?
  3. How do you solve for nn in an equation like 11+20n=25-11 + 20n = 25?
  4. How do you distribute a negative number in general (e.g., 3(a+b)-3(a + b))?
  5. How do you simplify expressions with multiple terms involving nn?

Tip: Always carefully distribute terms when there are parentheses, and combine like terms afterward!
