Answer:
Well, the simplified expression of (2x + 5)(x - 8) would be 2x^2 − 11x − 40. I am not entirely sure of the answer though.
Step-by-step explanation:
=(2x + 5) (x + − 8)
=(2x) (x) + (2x)(− 8) + (5) (x) + (5) (− 8)
=2 x 2 − 16x + 5x − 40
=2 x 2 − 11x − 40
Hope this helps! I am not a pro at algebra. Sorry :(
