-4(3x – 7) =
– D
2 +
?

Answer 1

To find an expression equivalent to -4(3x – 7), distribute -4 across the parentheses to get -12x + 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression -4(3x – 7) is asking us to distribute the -4 across the parentheses. To do this, you multiply -4 by each term inside the parentheses. The distribution process looks like this:

• -4 × 3x = -12x
• -4 × -7 = +28

After performing these multiplications, you combine the results to get the expression equivalent to -4(3x – 7), which is:

-12x + 28

Answer 2

Another way to express it would be -12x+28
