Full solution

Q. Multiply. Write your answer in simplest form.\newline6m5×(4m5)\frac{6m}{5} \times (4m - 5)
  1. Identify Expression: Identify the expression to be simplified.\newlineWe are given the expression 6m5×(4m5)\frac{6m}{5} \times (4m - 5). We need to multiply the fraction by the binomial.
  2. Distribute Fraction: Distribute the fraction across the binomial.\newlineTo multiply the fraction by the binomial, we distribute the fraction to each term in the binomial:\newline(6m5)×4m+(6m5)×(5)(\frac{6m}{5}) \times 4m + (\frac{6m}{5}) \times (-5)
  3. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication for each term.\newlineNow we multiply the fraction by each term in the binomial separately:\newline(6m5)×4m=(6m×4m)5(\frac{6m}{5}) \times 4m = \frac{(6m \times 4m)}{5}\newline(6m5)×(5)=(6m×5)5(\frac{6m}{5}) \times (-5) = \frac{(6m \times -5)}{5}
  4. Simplify Terms: Simplify each term.\newlineWe simplify the multiplication for each term:\newline(6m×4m)/5=(24m2)/5(6m \times 4m) / 5 = (24m^2) / 5\newline(6m×5)/5=(30m)/5(6m \times -5) / 5 = (-30m) / 5
  5. Reduce Terms: Reduce each term, if possible.\newlineWe check if each term can be reduced further:\newline(24m2)/5(24m^2) / 5 cannot be reduced as 55 is not a factor of 2424.\newline(30m)/5(-30m) / 5 can be reduced because 55 is a factor of 30-30:\newline(30m)/5=6m(-30m) / 5 = -6m
  6. Combine Final Expression: Combine the simplified terms.\newlineNow we combine the two terms to get the final expression:\newline(24m25)6m(\frac{24m^2}{5}) - 6m
