The given expression is - 7(2x - 3)

The first step is to open the bracket by multiplying each term inside the bracket by the term outside. Then we would add or subtract where necessary.

It becomes

- 7 * 2x + - 7 * - 3

Recall, - * - = +

The simplified expression would be

- 14x + 21

The correct option is A
