To simplify the expression, we can distribute the coefficients to each term inside parentheses and then combine like terms.
- 3(-7m + n) + 0.6n - 4(3n + 7m)
First, we distribute -3 to each term inside the first set of parentheses:
- 3 * -7m + 3 * n + 0.6n - 4(3n + 7m)
This simplifies to:
21m - 3n + 0.6n - 4(3n + 7m)
Next, we distribute -4 to each term inside the second set of parentheses:
21m - 3n + 0.6n - 12n - 28m
Now, let's combine like terms:
(21m - 28m) + (-3n + 0.6n - 12n) + 0.6n
This simplifies to:
-7m - 14.4n + 0.6n
Therefore, the final simplified expression is -7m - 14.4n + 0.6n.
−3(−7m+n)+0.6n−4(3n+7m)
