Multiply.

Answer 1

sec guys

Answer 2

(q + 5 / -2) * (4q / q + 3)

Answer 3

from beginning to finish. thanks

Answer 4

\[\frac{q+5}{-2}\times \frac{4q}{q+3}\]?

Answer 5

Yeah. It wants you to simplify it.

Answer 6

just like with numbers, multiply the top by the top and the bottom by the bottom

Answer 7

Well, when I do that, it doesn't end up like any of the problem options.

Answer 8

like q + 5 * 4q

Answer 9

What would you say that is?

Answer 10

okay so q+ 5 is the same as 1q + 5

Answer 11

6q

Answer 12

* 4q

Answer 13

\[(q+5)\times 4q=4q^2+20q\]

Answer 14

okay.

Answer 15

that is by the distributive property
\[(q+5)\times 4q=4q\times q+4q\times 5=4q^2+20q\]

Answer 16

denominator is
\[-2(q+3)\]

Answer 17

you can cancel a 2 top and bottom to get
\[\frac{2q^2+10q}{-(q+3)}=-\frac{2q^2+10}{q+3}\]

Answer 18

here's what one of the answers looks like:

4q^2 + 20q / -2

Answer 19

if the question is the one i wrote, that is not the answer
