To combine like terms using the Distributive Property, you'll need to apply it to an expression. However, you haven't provided a specific expression to simplify. If you have an expression in mind, please share it!
From the provided response images, it's unclear what the original expression is. However, if we assume you are looking to simplify an expression such as \(2c - 7d + 3(c - 2d)\), we would first distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
1. Distribute: \(3(c - 2d) = 3c - 6d\)
2. Combine like terms:
- Combine \(2c\) and \(3c\) to get \(5c\).
- Combine \(-7d\) and \(-6d\) to get \(-13d\).
3. So, the simplified expression would be \(5c - 13d\).
