Question

Simplify each expression by using the Distribution Property and combine like terms to simplify the expression.-4n-3n+4n-7

Answer 1

Explanation:

The distributive property said that:

$a\cdot b+c\cdot b=(a+c)\cdot b$

The initial expression is:

- 4n - 3n + 4n - 7

So, like terms are -4n, -3n, and 4n. It means that when we apply the distributive property, we get:

$\begin{gathered} -4n-3n+4n-7 \\ (-4-3+4)n-7 \\ -3n-7 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the simplified expression is: - 3n - 7

Answer: - 3n - 7
