What's Distribute - x (5x+2)

-5x^2+-2x

-5x^2-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

When distributing, you multiply the term outside the brackets to all the terms in brackets.

If the term outside the bracket is negative, then when distributing/opening the brackets, the signs of the terms changes.

So in this prob. - x would multiply to both + 5x and + 2

-x*5x+-x*2

∴-5x^2-2x
