PLEASE HELP! 15 POINTS! What are the factors of the expression −4(a+b )?

-4, and (a+b) are the two factors

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(a+b)

We have two factors

-4, and (a+b)

-4 and a and b/(a+b)

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is a number outside of a parentheses, you want to distribute it inside of the parentheses.  So in this case, -4 is on the outside, so it usually gets distributed it in, which makes it a factor.

Since a and b are getting multiplied by the -4, they are also factors in the equation.  

In a problem like this, if you want to solve it, the number outside the parentheses gets distributed into the numbers in the parentheses.  (It gets multiplied by the numbers).

-4 times a and -4 times b

-4 times a is -4a

-4 times b is -4b

The answer to this problem, if you need it is -4a-4b.  :)
