Simplify the expression using the distributive property. –4(–3x + 11) 1. Distribute the –4 through the parentheses: -4(–3x) + (-4)(11) 2. Find each product: x -44
Let’s start with -4(-3x + 11) so, -4•-3x is 12x,because multiplying 2 negatives creates a positive. As for -4•11, it is -44. So, it should be 12x + -44. I hope this helps!
