Answer:

The simplified form of given expression is,
36-2x

Explanation:

Given the expression:
52 -[30-2(7-x)]

Distributive property states that lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.

i.,e
a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c


52 -[30-14+2x]

Simplify:


52 -[16+2x]

Remove the Parenthesis, we get


52 -16- 2x

Then;


36-2x

Therefore, the simplified form of given expression is,
36-2x
