$\"4%28t-5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This is an example where the Distributive property is needed.
\n" ); document.write( "In this case each number or variable within the (parenthesis)
\n" ); document.write( "must be multiplied by the number directly in front of the (parenthesis).
\n" ); document.write( "So:
\n" ); document.write( "the 4 must be multiplied by the (t) = 4t
\n" ); document.write( "and the 4 must also be multiplied by the (-5) = -20
\n" ); document.write( "or:
\n" ); document.write( "4(t-5)= 4t -20
\n" ); document.write( "I hope this helps
\n" ); document.write( "Good luck! \n" ); document.write( "
