Question

Use distributive property to find the product of 4(3x + 5 + 2y^2 - 2x -1). Write your answer in standard form.

Answer 1

`8y^(2) +4x+16`

Explanation:

`4(3x+5+2y^2-2x-1)`

Multiply 4 by every other term inside the parentheses

`12x+20+8y^(2) -8x-4`

Combine like terms

`16+8y^(2) +4x`

Write from highest to lowest degree

`8y^(2) +4x+16`
