Question

(2x +1) -7 (-6x+9) what is the answer if using the Distributive Property?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property:  a(b +c) = a*b + a*c

(2x + 1) - 7(-6x + 9) = (2x + 1) + (-7)*(-6x) + (-7)*9

                              = 2x + 1 + 42x - 63  {Combine like terms}

                              = 2x + 42x + 1 - 63

                              = 44x - 62
