Answered by GPT-4o mini
To simplify the expression \( 7(4 + t) - 3(t + 3) \), follow these steps:

1. Distribute \( 7 \) in the first term:
\[
7(4) + 7(t) = 28 + 7t
\]

2. Distribute \( -3 \) in the second term:
\[
-3(t) - 3(3) = -3t - 9
\]

3. Combine the results from steps 1 and 2:
\[
28 + 7t - 3t - 9
\]

4. Combine like terms:
- The constant terms: \( 28 - 9 = 19 \)
- The \( t \) terms: \( 7t - 3t = 4t \)

Putting it all together, the expression simplifies to:
\[
19 + 4t
\]

So, the final answer is:
\[
\boxed{4t + 19}
\]

Certainly! If you want the final answer in parentheses, it can be expressed as:

\[
\boxed{4t + 19} \quad \text{or} \quad \boxed{(4t + 19)}
\]

Using parentheses gives you a clear grouped term as requested!
