Question

Which expression is equivalent to (4 - 7)(2x - 1)?

Answer 1

The equivalent expression to $(4-7)(2x-1)$  is $-6x+3$

First, you multiply the binomials using the multiplying binomial that you are used to. I like to use the box method.

Multiply 4 by 2x and -1      and multiply -7 by 2x and -1

$8x-14x-4+7$

Then, add like terms.

$-6x+3$
