Question

Which expression shows the result of applying the distributive property to −3(1/4x−1/7)?

3/4x−3/7

−3/4x+3/7

3/4x+3/7

−3/4x−3/7

Answer 1

• Option B

Explanation:

Let's use the distributive property to solve.

• −3(1/4x − 1/7)
• => -3/4x + 3/7

Looking at the options, we can say that Option B is correct.

Answer 2

`\\ \tt\hookrightarrow -3\left((1)/(4)x-(1)/(7)\right)`

• a(b-c)=ab-ac

`\\ \tt\hookrightarrow -3(1/4x)+3(1/7)`

Solve

`\\ \tt\hookrightarrow -3/4x+3/7`
