① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{4} $ by $ \left( qrst-16\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{4} \cdot \left( qrst-16\right) = 4qrst-64 $$ |
② | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 4qrst-64 \right) = -4qrst+64 $$ |
③ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{qrst} \color{blue}{-4qrst} +64 = \color{blue}{-3qrst} +64 $$ |
