Question

Hey please help with this i really need thie my grades are going down and today is the only day to bring it up please help me

Answer 1

What to fill in the gap is 28x

To be able to go on with this, we need to understand what the distributive property is;

For a case (a + b) * c

Applying the distributive property, we will have;

(a * c) + (b * c)

This is what we shall need to apply in these questions;

Thus;

for

7(4x + 2);

we have ;

7(4x) + 7(2)

Opening the brackets, we have;

28x + 14

So what we shall fill in the blank space here is 28x
