In this equation since there is no other number you can only do the distributive property and then keep the answer you get. To do the distributive property you are going to take the number on the outside of the parentheses which is the number 4. Since there is no other symbol next to it that means that you are multiplying the 4 with everything inside the parentheses. Remember to multiply each number by the 4 otherwise you will get the wrong answer. 4 multiplied by x is 4x. Then do -6y multiplied by 4. In this case we are going to forget about the y for a minute and just multiply the 4 and -6 which gives you -24. Then bring the y back into the story and you get -24y. Since there is no other numbers and you have two variables that you can't get rid of you put them together and you will get the simplified equation: 4x-24y.
