Question

What the answer to this 7(3 + b)

Answer 1

Answer:

21 + 7b

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression 7(3 + b) and are being asked the answer.

Our expression has a number out of a certain parenthesis, when this occurs, this means that we must distribute the number outside the parenthesis to the numbers inside. Do as following :

7(3 + b)

(7(3) + 7(b))

21 + 7b

(I am unsure on whether you forgot the "= 0" at the end, if you did please tell me in the comment section and I will change my answer.)
