Choose the expression that shows the correct distribution of 7(x - 4)

Question

7 x - 11
7 x - 28
7 x - 3

Answer 1

To distribute 7 in the expression \(7(x - 4)\), you multiply 7 by both terms inside the parentheses:

\[ 7(x - 4) = 7 \cdot x - 7 \cdot 4 = 7x - 28 \]

So, the correct expression that shows the distribution of \(7(x - 4)\) is:

7x - 28
