$= - 32 w + 8 x$ $=−color(blue)(32w)+ 8x$

$4 (w + 2 x) + 9 (- 4 w)$ $color(blue)(4)(w+2x)+9(−4w)$

$= 4 \cdot (w) + 4 \cdot (2 x) + 9 (- 4 w)$ $=color(blue)(4) * (w) +color(blue)(4) *(2x)+9(−4w)$

$= 4 w + 8 x - 36 w$ $=color(blue)(4w) + 8x −color(blue)(36w)$

Combining like terms:

$= 4 w - 36 w + 8 x$ $=color(blue)(4w) −color(blue)(36w)+ 8x$

$= - 32 w + 8 x$ $=−color(blue)(32w)+ 8x$

How do you simplify 4(w + 2x) + 9(-4w)4(w+2x)+9(−4w)4(w + 2x) + 9(-4w)?
