Question

Complete the following stepped-out solution to show that 3+7(p−11)
is equivalent to 7 x p − 74
.

Answer 1

To show that 3+7(p−11) is equivalent to 7 x p − 74, we will first distribute the 7 to both terms inside the parentheses, then combine like terms.

1. Distribute the 7:
3 + 7 x p - 7 x 11

2. Simplify:
3 + 7 x p - 77

3. Combine like terms:
7 x p - 74

Therefore, 3+7(p−11) is equivalent to 7 x p − 74.
