Distribute and Multiply: Distribute the 2 into the parentheses.We need to multiply each term inside the parentheses by 2.2(−5v)+2(5)+4v=−10v+10+4v
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms.We have two terms with the variable v, so we add their coefficients.−10v+4v+10= (−10+4)v+10= −6v+10
Check for Simplification: Check for any further simplification. There are no like terms left to combine, and the expression is now in its simplest form.
