Given expression:
2x(x + 7)-(3x +1);
To distribute implies to spread a process equally in an expression. Often times, the distributive property is used for expressions inside parentheses;
2x(x + 7)-(3x +1)
Distribute 2x over the first parentheses;
the negative sign distributes over the second part
= (2x² + 14x) - 3x -1
= 2x² + 14x -3x -1
Add like terms;
= 2x² + 11x -1
This expression 2x² + 11x -1 is equal to the given one
The answer is E because if you take 60 pounds of hazel nut coffee you spend 420$ and that would leave 30 pounds of vanilla left which equals 120$ and if you and those two numbers you get the sum of how much money she spent on coffee.
That’s a good question. But I don’t know the answer
Step-by-step explanation:

Tyrell worked on
16 - 2(4 + 3x)
what do brackets mean ? they mean that this operation has to be done before everything else in the expression.
as this contains a variable, we cannot fully calculate it, true, but we need to keep this in mind and always treat the content of the brackets as one package.
so, whatever I do from the outside with one part of that package, I have to do also with all the other parts of that package.
so, the multiplication with -2 has to happen with both : 4 and 3x. not just with 4.
therefore, the correct simplification looks like
16 - 8 - 6x
8 - 6x or -6x + 8
Amelia multiplied correctly, but then made a mistake summing things up
10x - 3(4x + 1)
10x - 12x - 3
10x - 12x = -2x
I can't mix the pure constant -3 into the factors of x. that would be like the famous mixing of apples and oranges.
so, the result is
-2x - 3
