\"-5%28w-8%29\" Start with the given expression\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-5w%2B-5%28-8%29\" Distribute -5 to \"w-8\" by writing \"-5\" in front of each term in the parenthesis\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-5w%2B40\" Multiply -5 and -8 to get positive 40\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"-5%28w-8%29\" distributes and simplifies to \"-5w%2B40\". In other words \"-5%28w-8%29=-5w%2B40\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y-4%29%28-2%29\" Start with the given expression\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-2y%2B%28-2%29%28-4%29\" Distribute -2 to \"y-4\" by writing \"-2\" in front of each term in the parenthesis\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-2y%2B8\" Multiply -2 and -4 to get positive 8\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"%28y-4%29%28-2%29\" distributes and simplifies to \"-5w%2B40\". In other words \"%28y-4%29%28-2%29=-2y%2B8\"
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
