Question

$$x-\frac{4}{5}(x+10)$$

Evaluate

$\frac{x}{5}-8$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $-\frac{4}{5}$ by $x+10$.

$$x-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{4}{5}\times 10$$

Express $-\frac{4}{5}\times 10$ as a single fraction.

$$x-\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{-4\times 10}{5}$$

Multiply $-4$ and $10$ to get $-40$.

$$x-\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{-40}{5}$$

Divide $-40$ by $5$ to get $-8$.

$$x-\frac{4}{5}x-8$$

Combine $x$ and $-\frac{4}{5}x$ to get $\frac{1}{5}x$.

$$\frac{1}{5}x-8$$

Expand

$\frac{x}{5}-8$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $-\frac{4}{5}$ by $x+10$.

$$x-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{4}{5}\times 10$$

Express $-\frac{4}{5}\times 10$ as a single fraction.

$$x-\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{-4\times 10}{5}$$

Multiply $-4$ and $10$ to get $-40$.

$$x-\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{-40}{5}$$

Divide $-40$ by $5$ to get $-8$.

$$x-\frac{4}{5}x-8$$

Combine $x$ and $-\frac{4}{5}x$ to get $\frac{1}{5}x$.

$$\frac{1}{5}x-8$$
