Question

How do you simplify `-4(3+3)`?

Answer 1

Use PEMDAS to determine the order to do things and arrive at `-24`

Explanation:

To solve this, we'll use PEMDAS. P stands for Parentheses (or brackets as I like to call them), so we'll work the addition inside them first, then do the multiplication.

Starting with the original:

`-4(3+3)`

and now working the addition within the brackets:

`-4(6)`

and now the multiplication:

`-24`
