To use the distributive property to remove the parentheses in the expression \(2(x-7)\), you multiply 2 by each term inside the parentheses:
\[
2(x) - 2(7)
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
2x - 14
\]
So, \(2(x-7)\) is equal to \(2x - 14\).
\[
2(x) - 2(7)
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
2x - 14
\]
So, \(2(x-7)\) is equal to \(2x - 14\).

If you're asking where to place parentheses in the expression \(2x - 14\), it depends on the context you need them for. Here are a few examples:
1. To show that \(2x - 14\) is the result of the distribution:
\[
2(x - 7) = 2x - 14
\]
2. If you want to denote the entire expression, you can use parentheses around it:
\[
(2x - 14)
\]
If you meant something else by where to put parentheses, could you please clarify?
