Question

Complete the following stepped-out solution to show that 3+7(p−11)

7⋅p+3− ?

Answer 1

To find the missing expression, we can distribute the 7 to each term in the parentheses:

7(p-11) = 7*p - 7*11 = 7p - 77

So the expression becomes:

3 + 7(p-11) = 3 + (7p - 77)

Next, we can combine like terms:

3 + 7p - 77 = 7p - 74

Therefore, the missing expression is 7p - 74.
