Math Problem Statement

−7(4x−2)+7x

Solution

To simplify the expression 7(4x2)+7x-7(4x - 2) + 7x, we can proceed with the following steps:

  1. Distribute 7-7 across (4x2)(4x - 2): 74x+(7)(2)=28x+14-7 \cdot 4x + (-7) \cdot (-2) = -28x + 14

  2. Rewrite the expression with the distributed terms: 28x+14+7x-28x + 14 + 7x

  3. Combine like terms (28x(-28x and 7x7x): 28x+7x=21x-28x + 7x = -21x

  4. Write the simplified expression: 21x+14-21x + 14

So, the simplified expression is: 21x+14-21x + 14
