For this problem, the distributive property is a must. It states that...

a(b+c) = ab + ac

For example,

3(9+2) = (3)(9) + (3)(2) = 27 + 6 = 33
Usually, we would just do 3(11) = 33, but that is just an example.

7(x+4) = 7x + (7)(4) = 7x + 28

Try to do that in your problem, and we can critique your thinking.
Nuts. You show the work, and we will be happy to critique it. We don't do homework for students.
