Hello I'm currently working on solving rational equations and have become stuck on trying to foil. Pleeease explain how to foil when a term is in front of the parenthesis..
Ex. 4(x+1)(x-1) I'm getting confused on trying to incorporate the 4 when foiling this. Every problem I look up for help are only showing problems like (x+1)(x-1). Pleeease explain when there's a term in front of the parenthesis.

-6(x+4)(x-4)
