Through the distributive property, we know to multiply both numbers in the parentheses by 7. This gives us 7(40) + 7(2). Next, we have to simplify by multiplying the terms out. This gives us 280 + 14. Finally, we add and get a sum of 294. However, the question only asks for the distribute step. Therefore, your answer is B. 7 x 40 + 7 x 2.

Hope this helps!
