How do you simplify 10x(x-1)-8(6x plus 2)?

Answer 1

To simplify the expression (10x(x-1) - 8(6x + 2)), first distribute the terms:

1. (10x(x - 1) = 10x^2 - 10x)
2. (-8(6x + 2) = -48x - 16)

Now, combine the results:

(10x^2 - 10x - 48x - 16 = 10x^2 - 58x - 16).

Thus, the simplified expression is (10x^2 - 58x - 16).
