Final answer:

The product of (3 - 7x3 - 7) is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the product of (3 - 7x3 - 7), we apply the distributive property. We multiply 3 by both terms inside the parentheses and then multiply -7 by both terms inside the parentheses:

  • 3 x 3 = 9
  • 3 x (-7) = -21
  • -7 x 3 = -21
  • -7 x (-7) = 49

Therefore, the product of (3 - 7x3 - 7) is 9 - 21 - 21 + 49 = 16.
