Question

real numbers
multiplying a constant and a linear monomial
multiply.
(b)4

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the terms

We have a linear monomial \((b)\) (which is \(b\)) and a constant \(4\).

Step2: Apply multiplication rule

When multiplying a constant and a linear monomial, we use the rule \(a\times bx = abx\) (here \(a = 4\) and \(bx=b\)). So \(4\times b=4b\).

Answer:

\(4b\)
