To simplify the expression −3(2x+7), we will use the distributive property.
The distributive property states that when a number is multiplied by the sum or difference of two terms, we can distribute the multiplication to each term separately.
Applying the distributive property to the expression −3(2x+7), we multiply −3 by both terms inside the parentheses:
−3(2x+7) = −3 * 2x + (−3) * 7
This simplifies to:
−6x - 21
Therefore, the simplified expression is −6x - 21.
To simplify the expression −3(2x+7), we will use the distributive property. The distributive property states that when you multiply a number by a sum or difference within parentheses, you can distribute the multiplication to each term inside the parentheses.
In this case, we will distribute the -3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
-3(2x) + (-3)(7)
Multiplying -3 by 2x gives us -6x, and multiplying -3 by 7 gives us -21.
So the simplified expression is -6x - 21.
