Simplify the expression using the distributive property.

One-fourth (4 x minus 8) minus 2 (5 x + 6)

Identify the expression in its simplest form.
11x + 10
x – 14 – 10x
1x – 2 – 10x – 12
–9x – 14

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
