Rewrite in simplest terms: minus, 4, left parenthesis, 10, u, minus, 3, right parenthesis, plus, 7, u−4(10u−3)+7u

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(-4(10u - 3) + 7u\), follow these steps:

1. Distribute \(-4\) to both terms inside the parentheses: \[ -4 \cdot 10u + (-4) \cdot (-3) = -40u + 12 \]

2. Now, add \(7u\) to the result: \[ -40u + 12 + 7u \]

3. Combine like terms: \[ (-40u + 7u) + 12 = -33u + 12 \]

So, the simplified expression is: \[ -33u + 12 \]
