Question

multiple-choice question when you distribute the 4 you get... 4x² + 7x - 9 4x² + 12x - 20 you cant do it because of the x² rewatch submit

Explanation:

Step1: Assume original expression

The implied original expression is $4(x^2 + 3x - 5)$ (since distributing 4 to this gives a matching option).

Step2: Distribute 4 to each term

$4 \cdot x^2 + 4 \cdot 3x + 4 \cdot (-5)$

Step3: Calculate each product

$4x^2 + 12x - 20$

Answer:

B. $4x^2 + 12x - 20$
