Sure! Let's break down the expression [tex]\(-5x(4 + 3x)\)[/tex] and describe it using words.
1. Start with [tex]\(-5x\)[/tex]:
- "Negative five times x"
2. Next, consider the part inside the parentheses [tex]\(4 + 3x\)[/tex]:
- This represents the "sum of four and three times x"
3. Finally, combine these components:
- "Negative five times x, multiplied by the sum of four and three times x"
So, the expression [tex]\(-5x(4 + 3x)\)[/tex] can be written in words as:
"Negative five times x, multiplied by the sum of four and three times x"
