use distributive property to factor the expression
how do i do this if the first is -4 and the second is 4?
−4m − 4y

Respuesta :

Answer:

4(-m - y)

Explanation:

Variables can be negative.

I don’t remember fully but this is a jist of what you’re supposed to do. So first you find the biggest number you can distribute both values in for example if you had 4x+6y you’d want to use 2 as it’s the biggest number that can go into both. Ok so you put the 2 at the beginning of the expression and try to figure out what will multiply by 2 to make 4 and 6. In this case this’ll work 2(2x+3y) if you’ve got any more questions ask and I’ll try to answer tommorow morning
