Answer:

4y + 24

4 * y + 7 * 4

Any of those two ^

Explanation:

We are asked to expand 4(y+7), expanding is making an equation a bit longer, in this case, we can distribute the 4 to both values within the parenthesis.

4 multiplied to y is 4y, and 4 multiplied by 7 is 24. This will get you 4y + 24, because you cannot add a number with a variable to a number without one.

If that isn't enough, just don't multiply the 7 and the 4.

Giving you 4 * y + 7 * 4
