Answer: The equivalent expression is -10w -20

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the distributive property states that a sum can be multiplied, by multiplying each addend separately and then adding the products.

Mathematically speaking:

a (b+c) = ab + ac

So, for this case:

  • 5 (-2w -4 )
  • (5 x -2w ) + (5 x -4)
  • -10w -20

The equivalent expression is -10w -20.
