Answer:

28

Explanation:

The Distributive property uses the number outside the parenthesis and combines it (using multiplication) with the ones inside.

So, the number 7 will be multiplied with the numbers inside the parenthesis.

7(11-7)

7 × 11 = 77

7 × -7 = -49 (It will just be the same way you multiply but with a added negative sign.)

77-49=

28
