Identify the expression to simplify: \(-4\left(6 + 1\right)\).
Recall the distributive property, which states that \(a(b + c) = ab + ac\). Here, \(a = -4\), \(b = 6\), and \(c = 1\).
Apply the distributive property by multiplying \(-4\) by each term inside the parentheses separately: \(-4 \times 6\) and \(-4 \times 1\).
Write the expression as the sum of these products: \(-4 \times 6 + (-4 \times 1)\).
Simplify each multiplication to get the final simplified expression (do not calculate the final sum here).
