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

When both parties discuss the terms of a contract they are
marysya [2.9K]
B - Negotiating.

This is because they are communicating, they haven't yet agreed to anything or committed to the contract as neither parties have signed, thus leading to both C and D to be incorrect.

A, however, is not exactly a term used for this situation - contracting is more of a term used to say someone contracted a disease or the flu or etc. 

Therefore, B would be correct as they are indeed negotiating the terms of the contract.

Hope this helps!
