Question

(-5x + 1)(2x - 4)

2x	-4
-5x	-10x²	+20x
1	2x	-4

correct! now write the simplified answer in the box below.
answer attempt 1 out of 10

Explanation:

Step1: Sum the products from the table

We have the products: $-10x^2$, $+20x$, $2x$, and $-4$. Now we combine like terms.
First, combine the $x$ terms: $20x + 2x = 22x$.

Step2: Write the simplified polynomial

Now we put together the quadratic term, the linear term, and the constant term. So we have $-10x^2 + 22x - 4$.

Answer:

$-10x^2 + 22x - 4$
