Let's simplify the expression step by step.
1. **Distribute the 7 through the parentheses**:
\( 7(6x - 4) + 1 \)
This becomes:
\( 7 \cdot 6x - 7 \cdot 4 + 1 \)
Which simplifies to:
\( 42x - 28 + 1 \)
2. **Combine like terms**:
Combine the constant terms \(-28 + 1\):
\( 42x - 28 + 1 = 42x - 27 \)
Thus, the expression in its simplest form is:
**42x - 27**.
