Imagine the 4 isn't there.  You get 3 * -5
Then once you have that add the 4 back

anonymous · Answer

then that would be 2 correct?

anonymous · Answer

nope, it is -2, which is b

anonymous · Answer

thx anyway, i guess...

anonymous · Answer

Sorry, Let me clarify.
The long way:
     4(3) * 4(-5)
     12 * -20     Multiply each term
     -240           Multiply the terms together
     4(-15)        Factor out a 4

Short way:
     4(3*(-5))
4(-15)
