Q. Which expression is equivalent to 5(a+4)5(a + 4)?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 20a20a\newline(B) 5a+205a + 20\newline(C) 20a+520a + 5\newline(D) 9a9a
  1. Distribute 55: Distribute the 55 to both terms inside the parentheses.5(a+4)=5×a+5×45(a + 4) = 5 \times a + 5 \times 4
  2. Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication.\newline5×a=5a5 \times a = 5a\newline5×4=205 \times 4 = 20\newlineSo, 5(a+4)=5a+205(a + 4) = 5a + 20
