multi-step equations

Answer 1

understand that the derivative property is like this:
a(b+c) = a*b + a*c so when
4(-x+4) then...

Answer 2

so it will be -4x+4=12 @jigglypuff314

Answer 3

4(-x+4) would be (4)*(-x) + (4)*(4)

Answer 4

Answer 5

distributing is confusing for a lot of people...
I like to think of it as what distributing means,
like if I were to distribute bread I would break it into pieces and give it out
so like if "a" was bread and "b" and "c" were who I gave it out to a(b + c),
distributive property would be I give "a" bread to "b" and "a" bread to "c" so a*b + a*c
