QUESTION:
rewriting this expression using the distributive property:
8x-40y
ANSWER:

The Distributive Property is an algebra property which is used to multiply a single term and two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.

Take a look at the problem below.

2(3 + 6) = 2*3 + 2* 6

Your Question:

8x-40y

Here take out common terms from 8x and 40y

8x-40y = 8x - 5 * 8y

Here 8 is common in both the terms

==> 8x-40y = 8 ( 5 - 5y )

which is the required answer.

Hope you understood.
