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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then that would be 2 correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope, it is -2, which is b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx anyway, i guess...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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)
