Question

Which answer choice correctly simplifies the expression Hint: Use distributive property and watch your signs. -4 (x2 - 2xy + 5y2 - 3)? O-4x2 - 2xy + 5y2 - 3 4x2 - xy + 20y2 - 12 0-4x2 + xy - 20y2 +12​

Answer 1

Answer: -4x^2 + 8xy - 20y^2 + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 (x2 - 2xy + 5y2 - 3)

-4(x^2) = -4x^2

-4(-2xy) = 8xy

-4(5y^2) = -20y^2

-4(-3) = 12
