use the distributive property to remove the parentheses. (4 - u + x)(-4)

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property

$$(4 - u + x)(-4)=4\times(-4)-u\times(-4)+x\times(-4)$$

Step2: Calculate each term

$$4\times(-4)=-16$$ $$-u\times(-4) = 4u$$ $$x\times(-4)=-4x$$

Answer:

$-16 + 4u-4x$
