Hi there! :)

Answer:

=28b-57

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Explanation:

Lesson: Distributive property

Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

First, you expand or multiply by the numbers from left to right.


7*7=49


7*4=28

It change positive to negative sign.


-49+28b-8

Finally, you add/subtract by the numbers from left to right.


49+8=57

It change positive to negative sign.


=28b-57

Final answer is 28b-57

I hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)
