Blank 3: -6x + 21
To simplify the expression -3(2x + 7), we use the Distributive Property. The Distributive Property states that when we multiply a number by a sum, we can distribute the multiplication to each term within the parentheses.
So, we multiply -3 with 2x and -3 with 7.
-3 times 2x is -6x and -3 times 7 is -21.
Therefore, the simplified expression is -6x + 21.
