For this case we have the following equation:
[tex]5 (8x-4) -10 = 40x-20-10[/tex]
By definition, we have that distributive property states that:
[tex]a (b + c) = ab + ac[/tex]
Applying the property to the left side of the equation we have:[tex]5 * 8x-5 * 4-10 = 40x-20-10\\40x-20-10 = 40x-20-10[/tex]
Thus, in the given expression the distributive property is demonstrated.
Answer:
In the expression given, distributive property is demonstrated.
