Our task is to simplify the following expression:

$\sf{4(-9+z)}$

In order to solve, distribute 4:

$\sf{4*(-9)+4*z}$

Simplify:

$\sf{-36+4z}$

This was our answer.

Note: The property used in this problem was the distributive property, that states the following:

$\sf{a(b+c)=ab+ac}$

Here, the "a" term gets distributed to the ones inside the parentheses.
