Help remove parenthesis (-4+w+3y)(-5) PLEASE

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

Use the distributive property. You would get 20-5w-15y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK, is the -5xw 5w ??

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

There is no x in the problem.

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

Or do you mean multiplication?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks, I just cannot wrap my head around this !

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

If it's easier for you to understand the new equation would be 20+(-5w)+(-15y). The negative sign is not dropped, it becomes the subtraction sign.

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

It's not a problem if you still need help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know how to write squared or cubed and this problem is

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

Use a ^2 for squared, ^3 for cubed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok here's the problem : -7(-3v^3-4+3w^2)

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

This is the same type of problem I helped you with earlier. Use the Distributive property again. Your new equation would be 21v^3+28-21w^2. Only multiply the constants.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so I am not really doing anything with the integers ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for all I connect with you again ??? I don't know how on here

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

You mean the variables (the letters)? Then no. For this problem you will leave them alone. But if you multiply a variable by a variable, then you'd add a power. For example w times w = w^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no I meant the cubed or squared

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

No, not for this problem since you're not multiplying variables.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, Thanks Again ...
