ANSWER:

14y - 42x

Explanation:

Let's first write down the problem we will be solving.

= - 7 ( 6x - 2y )

To use the distributive law to remove the parantheses, we need to multiply each number inside the parentheses with the number in front of the parantheses.

= - ( 7 × 6x ) - ( 7 × - 2y )

Then we write down the product of each multiplication and put it together to make our final expression.

= - ( 42x ) - ( - 14y )

= - 42x + 14y

If possible, it is always better to ensure that the expression begins with a positive rather than a negative symbol. To do this, you simply place the positive number at the front of the expression and the negative number after it.

= 14y - 42x
