Option D

Using the distributive property, -7(8x – 3) + x = -55x + 21

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to use distributive property to simplify the given expression

Given expression is:

-7(8x – 3) + x

Let us first understand about distributive property

The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.

<em><u>The distributive property is represented as:</u></em>

a(b + c) = ab + ac

Apply this property in given expression for -7(8x - 3)

-7(8x - 3) = (- 7 \times 8x) + (-7 \times -3)\\\\-7(8x - 3) = -56x +21

Apply the above result in given expression

-7(8x - 3) + x = -56x + 21 + x

Combine the like terms. Add -56x and x

-7(8x - 3) + x = -56x + 21 + x = -55x + 21\\\\-7(8x - 3) + x = -55x + 21

Thus the given expression is simplified. Option D is correct

The product of two numbers is -30, but their sum is -13. What are these two numbers?
Nata [24]
<h3>Answer:  -15 and 2</h3>

You find this through trial and error.

A much more efficient way is to solve x^2-13x-30 = 0 using the quadratic formula. You'll find the two solutions to be x = 15 and x = -2

Going from those solutions, we get x-15 = 0 and x+2 = 0 which then turn into (x-15)(x+2) = 0 through the zero product property.
