Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses 4(9 + u)

Answer 1

To use the distributive property to remove the parentheses in the expression \(4(9 + u)\), you multiply each term inside the parentheses by 4:

\[ 4(9) + 4(u) \]

Calculating the first term:

\[ 4 \times 9 = 36 \]

So, the expression becomes:

\[ 36 + 4u \]

Therefore, the expression \(4(9 + u)\) simplifies to:

\[ 36 + 4u \]
