a(b+4)=

Solution for a(b+4)= equation:

Simplifying
a(b + 4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
a(4 + b) = 0
(4 * a + b * a) = 0
(4a + ab) = 0

Solving
4a + ab = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Subproblem 1
Set the factor 'a' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
a = 0

Solving
a = 0

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Simplifying
a = 0
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(4 + b)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
4 + b = 0

Solving
4 + b = 0

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + b = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + b = 0 + -4
b = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
b = -4

Add '-1b' to each side of the equation.
b + -1b = -4 + -1b

Combine like terms: b + -1b = 0
0 = -4 + -1b

Simplifying
0 = -4 + -1b
