Question

Simplify the expression 2(w+7)+6(3w−1).

Answer 1

Answer:

20w + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

2(w+7)+6(3w−1).

step 1 distribute the 2 to the w and the 7

2 * w = 2w

2 * 7 = 14

we now have 2w + 14 + 6( 3w - 1 )

step 2 distribute the 6 to the 3w and -1

6 * 3w = 18w

6 * -1 = -6

we now have 2w + 14 + 18w - 6

step 3 combine like terms

2w + 18w = 20w

14 - 6 = 8

we're left with 20w + 8
