Which expression is equivalent?

A. -4(7 + 6g) = -28 - 24g

B. -4(7 + 6g) = 6g - 28

C. -4(7 + 6g) = -28 + 6g

Please help! I am soooo stuck!

The answer is actually A. -4(7+6g)=-28-24g. This is because you take the values that are in the parentheses and multiply them both by the value outside, which in this case is negative four. -4x7=-28 and -4x6g=-24g. Therefore -4(7+6g)=-28-24g.

B: -4*7 = - 28. Dont multiply the 6g. Just leave it. Stick -28 in front of 6g and bam.
