Using the distributed property, the simplified form of -2(-x+5y-4) is 2x-10y+8.
In the equation question,
The given expression is -2(-x+5y-4).
We have to simplify the given expression.
We simplify the given expression using the distributed method.
In the distributed method we have to multiply the number outside the bracket to all the terms that are inside the bracket.
As a(b+c) = ab+bc
In the given question there is -2 outside the bracket and -x+5y-4 is inside the bracket.
To simplify the given expression we multiply -2 to each term inside the bracket.
-2(-x+5y-4) = (-2)×(-x)+(-2)×5y-(-2)×4
Simplifying
-2(-x+5y-4) = 2x+(-10)y-(-8)
Simplifying the bracket
-2(-x+5y-4) = 2x-10y+8
Hence, the simplified form of -2(-x+5y-4) is 2x-10y+8.
