Use the Distributive Property to expand 7(5+x)

.

1 answer

To expand the expression \( 7(5+x) \) using the Distributive Property, you multiply 7 by each term inside the parentheses:

\[ 7(5+x) = 7 \cdot 5 + 7 \cdot x \]

Calculating each term:

\[ 7 \cdot 5 = 35 \] \[ 7 \cdot x = 7x \]

So, putting it all together, the expanded form is:

\[ 35 + 7x \]

Therefore, the result of expanding \( 7(5+x) \) is \( 35 + 7x \).
