Ok, so first we distribute, you multiply the seven into everything in the parentheses next to it. So far we have, 14a+21+3(4a-2). You distribute the three into the parentheses to get, 14a+21+12a-6. You combine the like terms to get, 26a-15. You cannot simplify it any further so the answer is 26a-15.

First distribute using distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac

7(2a+3)=14a+21
3(4a-2)=12a-6
add
14a+21+12a-6=26a+15
tada

26a+15

What is the length of AC?

Elan Coil [88]

well, the triangle is an isosceles, so it twin sides, and the twin sides make twin angles, as we see by the tickmarks on A and C, meaning AB = BC.

$\bf x+4=3x-8\implies 4=2x-8\implies 12=2x\implies \cfrac{12}{2}=x\implies 6=x \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ AC\implies x+4\implies 6+4\implies 10$
