\textsf{Hey \: there}

QUESTION


\mathsf{-0.5(14a - 22)}

FIRST YOU HAVE TO DISTRIBUTE:


\mathsf{(-0.5)(14a) + (-0.5)( -22)}

SOLVING FOR OUR ANSWER


\mathsf{(0.5)(14a) = - 7a} \\ \\ \mathsf{( - 0.5)( - 22) = 11}

NEW EQUATION/THE ANSWER YOU WERE LOOKING FOR


\boxed{ \bf{your \: answer:} \boxed{ \huge \textsf{ \bf- 7a + 11}}} \checkmark

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR ASSIGNMENT AND ENJOY YOUR DAY!

\frac{\frak{LoveYourselfFirst}}{:)}

SIDE NOTE: THE DISTRIBUTIVE FORMULA IS


\text{a(b + c)} \\ \text{a(b) + a(c)} \\ \text{a(b) = ab} \\ \text{a(c) = ac} \\ \text{ \underline{ = ab + ac}}
