Question

How do you determine an expression that is equivalent to `-4(9x-2)`?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

To simplify this expression multiply each term within the parenthesis by `color(red)(-4)`

`color(red)(-4)(9x - 2) -> (color(red)(-4) xx 9x) - (color(red)(-4) xx 2) ->`

`(-36x) - (-8) ->`

`-36x + 8`
