I have no idea how to do this problem:
Select the expression below that is equal to 4(9-m).
A. 4m-36
B. 13-m
C. 36-m
D. 36-4m
4(9-m) = 36 - 4m
Multiply both terms in parentheses by 4.
Okay I get it now. Thank you so much!
I think in simple terms you are removing the parenthesis, so you need to multiply 4 by each one inside the parenthesis, 4x9=36, and 4x-m=-4m so I believe tat "D" sis the answer.
You're welcome.
To solve this problem, you need to distribute the 4 on the outside of the parentheses to the terms inside the parentheses. This means that you multiply 4 by each term inside the parentheses.
The expression 4(9-m) can be expanded as follows:
4 * 9 - 4 * m = 36 - 4m
So, the expression 4(9-m) is equal to 36-4m.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D: 36-4m.
