Question

Simplify 2(3x+7)-4(7+x)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold { \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{2x - 14}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{2(3x + 7) - 4(7 + x)}$

Distribute 2 through the parentheses

⇒$\sf{6x + 14 - 4(7 + x)}$

Distribute 4 through the parentheses

⇒$\sf{6x + 14 - 28 - 4x}$

Collect like terms

⇒$\sf{6x - 4x + 14 - 28}$

⇒$\sf{2x + 14 - 28}$

Calculate

⇒$\sf{2x - 14}$
