Question

Which expression is equivalent to (4 - 7)(2x - 1)?

Answer 1

The equivalent expression to
`(4-7)(2x-1)` is
`-6x+3`

First, you multiply the binomials using the multiplying binomial that you are used to. I like to use the box method.

Multiply 4 by 2x and -1 and multiply -7 by 2x and -1

`8x-14x-4+7`

Then, add like terms.

`-6x+3`
