1.Use the distributive property to simplify the expression.

(-1)(4-c)

Can someone show me how to work this out? I'm stuck. :C

-4+c

Thanks, but I wanted someone to show me how to FIND the answer.

Multiply each term in the second parenthesis by -1.

Of course! I can help you work through this problem. To simplify the expression (-1)(4-c) using the distributive property, you need to distribute the -1 to both terms inside the parentheses. This means multiplying -1 by 4 and -1 by -c. Let's break down the steps:

(-1)(4-c) [start with the given expression]
= -1 * 4 - (-1) * c [distribute -1]
= -4 + c [simplify the products]

Therefore, the simplified expression is -4 + c.
