Question

Using distribution and combining like terms to simplify
Simplify.
4(v+5)-7v

Answer 1

1) Distribute
4 (v+5) -7v
4v + 20 - 7v

2) Combine 4v and -7v
-3v + 20

Therefore, the answer is -3v + 20

Answer 2

Hello.

First, let's use the Distributive property (a(b+c)=ab+ac):

4(v+5)-7v

4v+20-7v

Now, combine like terms:

4v-7v+20

-3v+20

-3v and 20 are not like terms.

Thus, this is our simplified answer.

I hope it helps.

Have an outstanding day. :)
