Question

7 (r+3s) - 2(2r -9s)
I am having a hard time solving can anyone please help

Answer 1

Multiply the # outside the parenthesis by each item inside the parenthesis to remove the parentesis and then combine the like terms (r's & s's).

Answer 2

7r + 21s - 4r + 18S
then combine like terms

Answer 3

7r +21s - 4r +18s
7r-4r =21s+18s

3r+39

Does this sound correct.

Answer 4

Yes , but 39s
