Answer:

  -8x -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property to eliminate parentheses. Then combine the constant terms.

  -4(2x +4) +5

  = -8x -16 +5

  = -8x -11

[tex]\sf \longmapsto-4 ( 2x+ 4) + 5[/tex]

[tex]\sf \longmapsto(−4)(2x)+(−4)(4)+5[/tex]

[tex]\sf \longmapsto−8x+−16+5[/tex]

[tex]\sf \longmapsto(−8x)+(−16+5)[/tex]

[tex]\sf \longmapsto−8x+−11[/tex]

[tex]\sf \longmapsto - 8x - 11[/tex]
