Answer 1

-2(53f-28)

Explanation:

1. Distribute

7(−8f−2)+10(−5f+7)

7x-8f=-56f 7x-2=-14

10x-5f=-50f 10x7=70

-56f-14+-50f+70 Adding a negative to something means to subtract. Like right here at -14 + -50 is the same as -14 - 50

2. Add the numbers

-56f-14+-50f+70 -14+70=56

-56f+56-50f

3. Combine like terms

-56f+56-50f -56+ -50= -106

-106f +56

4. Common Factor

-106f + 56

-2(53f-28)

Answer 2

-106f+56

Explanation:

7(-8f-2)= -56f-14

10(-5f+7)= -50f+70
