To simplify the expression \( 7(5x + 1) - 10x \), follow these steps:
1. Distribute the 7:
\[
7 \times 5x + 7 \times 1 = 35x + 7
\]
2. Now substitute this back into the expression:
\[
35x + 7 - 10x
\]
3. Combine like terms:
\[
(35x - 10x) + 7 = 25x + 7
\]
So, the simplified expression is:
\[
25x + 7
\]
