Question

How do you multiply `(4x+ 3)(5x 8)`?

Answer 1

`160x^2+120x`

Explanation:

Via the distributive property, you can multiply the single term, `5x8` by the two terms individually that are being added.

`(4x+3)(5x8)=(5x8)(4x)+(5x8)(3)`

Multiply the integers and then the variable (use exponent laws).

`160x^2+120x`

As the exponents of the variables are different, it cannot be simplified any further.
