You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(r+9)(-4) can be written as -4(r+9)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now distribute to get -4r-4(9) and then multiply to get -4r-36\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"%28r%2B9%29%28-4%29=-4r-36\"
\n" ); document.write( "
