Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.

Question

2(x-7)

Answer 1

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 \(2x - 14\).

Answer 2

is 2x -14 the correct answer yes or no

Answer 3

Yes.

Answer 4

where do I put these at ()

Answer 5

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?
