Question

Simplify the expression and show work 4(3x-2)-7(x+5)

Answer 1

5x - 43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the below expression;

`4\left(3x-2\right)-7\left(x+5\right)`

To simplify the above, we'll go ahead and use the numbers outside the parentheses to multiply the ones inside to clear the parentheses as seen below;

`\begin{gathered} 12x-8-7x-35 \\ =12x-7x-8-35 \\ =5x-43 \end{gathered}`

So the answer is 5x - 43
