what property will we use to simplify −3(2x+7)

1 answer

We will use the distributive property:

For any real numbers a, b, and c, the distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac.

In this case, we have -3(2x + 7). Using the distributive property, we can simplify this expression as follows:

-3(2x + 7) = -3 * 2x - 3 * 7
= -6x - 21
