does anyone know how to solve this and please show me the work please so i can try and understand how. 5x squared-10x-40

OpenStudy (psymon):

Much easier if you factor out a 5 first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you, but how do i do that?

OpenStudy (psymon):

Do you know about distributive property? Like for example 2(5x-10) = 10x - 20?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets see that would mean 2x5=10 and then multiply 2 to the other side meaning 2x20?
