To simplify the expression \( 7(2x + 4) \) using the Distributive Property, we multiply \( 7 \) by each term inside the parentheses:
\[
7(2x) + 7(4)
\]
Now, calculate each multiplication:
\[
7 \times 2x = 14x
\]
\[
7 \times 4 = 28
\]
Putting it all together, we have:
\[
7(2x + 4) = 14x + 28
\]
So, the simplified expression is:
\[
\boxed{14x + 28}
\]
