2a(a-5)+ 4(a-5) =2aa+2a(-5)+4a-4⋅5 =2a^2-10a+4a-20 =2a^2-6a-20 The steps used to simplify this equation are as follows: First I remove all of the parentheses. This is called the distributive property. 2a(a-5)+ 4(a-5)=2aa+2a(-5)+4a-4⋅5 The second step is to figure out the correct coefficients: 2aa+2a(-5)+4a-4⋅5=2a^2-10a+4a-20 The final step is to find the like terms and then combine them to obtain the simplified form: 2a^2-10a+4a-20=2a^2-6a-20 Here is the solution
