We are given an expression where the distributive property must be used. Let's remember the distributive property, it states the following:


a* b-a* c=a*(b-c)

The given expression is:


3*7-3*2

Therefore, we have that:


\begin{gathered} a=3 \\ b=7 \\ c=2 \end{gathered}

Replacing in the expression for the distributive law we get:


3*7-3*2=3*(7-2)
