Answer:

  1. 21x -28y
  2. 30 minutes

Explanation:

1. The distributive property tells you the factor outside parentheses multiplies each of the term inside parentheses.

7(3x -4y) = 7·3x -7·4y = 21x -28y

__

2. Time, speed, and distance are related by ...

time = distance/speed

time = (20 mi)/(40 mi/h) = 1/2 h = 30 minutes

The drive takes 30 minutes.
