Question

Simplify the product using the distributive property. (-4h +2)(3h +7)

Answer 1

Answer:

  A.  -12h² - 22h + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

(-4h +2)(3h +7) = -4h(3h +7) +2(3h +7) . . . . . . . (a +b)c = ac +bc

  = (-4h)(3h) + (-4h)(7) + (2)(3h) + (2)(7) . . . . . . . a(b +c) = ab +ac . . . (twice)

  = -12h² -28h +6h +14

  = -12h² -22h +14 . . . . . . . . collect terms
