Sure! Here's a rewritten version of the math problem:

To simplify the expression \( 4 + 8(3x - 2) - 7x \), we need to follow the order of operations and use the distributive property.

First, we'll distribute the \( 8 \) to each term inside the parentheses:

\[
8(3x - 2) = 8 \times 3x + 8 \times (-2) = 24x - 16
\]

Now, we can substitute this back into the original expression:

\[
4 + 24x - 16 - 7x
\]

Next, let's combine like terms:

- For the \( x \) terms: \( 24x - 7x = 17x \)
- For the constant terms: \( 4 - 16 = -12 \)

Putting it all together, we have:

\[
17x - 12
\]

Thus, the simplified expression is \( 17x - 12 \).

re-write the words in the expression

Sure! Here's a rewritten version of the expression using words instead of numbers and symbols:

To simplify the expression **four plus eight multiplied by the quantity three x minus two, minus seven x**, we begin by following the order of operations and applying the distributive property.

First, we will take **eight** and multiply it by each term inside the parentheses:

**Eight multiplied by the quantity three x minus two** equals **twenty-four x minus sixteen**.

Now we can replace the original expression with this result:

**Four plus twenty-four x minus sixteen minus seven x**.

Next, we combine like terms:

- For the x terms: **twenty-four x minus seven x equals seventeen x**
- For the constant terms: **four minus sixteen equals negative twelve**

Putting it all together, we have:

**seventeen x minus twelve**.

Thus, the simplified expression is **seventeen x minus twelve**.

Sure! Hereโ€™s a rewritten version of the math problem in the third person:

In order to simplify the expression \(4 + 8(3x - 2) - 7x\), one must apply the order of operations and the distributive property.

First, they distribute the \(8\) to each term inside the parentheses:
\[
8(3x - 2) = 8 \times 3x + 8 \times (-2) = 24x - 16.
\]
Next, they substitute this result back into the original expression, leading to:
\[
4 + 24x - 16 - 7x.
\]

The next step is to combine like terms:
- For the \(x\) terms:
\[
24x - 7x = 17x.
\]
- For the constant terms:
\[
4 - 16 = -12.
\]

Putting it all together, they arrive at:
\[
17x - 12.
\]

Thus, the simplified expression is \(17x - 12\).
