Question

2 (-n -3) -7 (5 + 2n)

Answer 1

Answer: -16n-41

Explanation:

first, distribute 2 through the parentheses:

2(-n-3)-7(5+2n) = -2n-6-7(5+2n)

second, distribute 7 through the parenthesis:

-2n-6-7(5+2n) = -2n-6-35-14n

Collect like terms:

-2n-6-35 and -16n-6-35

Calculate the difference:

-2n-6-35-14n = -16n-41

SOLUTION:

-16n-41
